The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Lincolnshire we have noticed increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And absolutely do not turn over the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Should you get in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the practical competence and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in LN2 Postcode - Hackthorn Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a rainy Sunday and we were on my way to help an older lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel Ferarri red BMW Z4 M Roadster in Hackthorn. I'd been informed she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down along a country road along the way to visit her grandchildren. I plugged the location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the car and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the work she said to me, "Now I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel since I'd only acquired it a short while back after my previous one, which I'd used for in excess of thirty years, eventually died on me". I got the job done and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Lincolnshire lady!

This was most definitely the graveyard shift. It was close to 2 in the morning and noone was about. It had become pretty quiet up to now, and me and Mark were loafing around looking at a few old magazines. That was an uncommon quiet hour in Lincolnshire. It was indeed so peaceful that the moment the phone eventually rang it made me jump! The customer said: "I just finished my overnight shift and incredibly poured petrol in the diesel faithful Suzuki Swift". I instructed him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was and we left, reaching him in Hackthorn only an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the car. He thanked us profusely for showing up so promptly. As we were going back home we spotted two ladies on the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a flat. Obviously we pulled up to change it, much to their delight.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
