It was around 5 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were seated going over the tennis results, ready for the 6th call of the day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Brocks Watering and put petrol in a diesel metallic grey Volkswagen Tiguan rental. The unfortunate thing was fairly affected apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from our van, we could arrive at her without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home relaxed and much less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Norfolk we have discovered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out right away. And definitely be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Brocks Watering

We carried out a wrong fuel retrieval job near a lovely residence in Brocks Watering not so long ago. "I put petrol in my diesel car and was able to virtually arrive at home when my car cut out."

A motorist living in Brocks Watering called us shortly after she tried to get her wrong fueled automobile to work. She had filled petrol in her diesel compact Cadillac DeVille and, like many people prior to her, assumed that she could basically fill the vehicle with diesel and it would be no problem. The car was chugging and then it stopped when she arrived at the the front of her work. We immediately started on the fuel drain after she called and got it repaired inside an hour while she was in the office. She came out later on and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely happy you sorted my car."

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.
