It was about 5 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing there going over the recent footy results, at the ready for the 6th job for the day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Foulsham and filled petrol in a diesel bright red VW Tiguan hire car in error. The poor lady was quite troubled it seemed, crying "I can't believe I have destroyed the car!

We told her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately do happen.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Norfolk we have seen more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

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

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it right away. And absolutely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

In the event that you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the practical know-how and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in NR20 Postcode - Foulsham Misfueling

Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Saturday and we were off to assist an older lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel luxury BMW X5 in Foulsham. I'd been informed she had left the petrol station and was pulled up along a backwater lane en route to visit her godchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the Satnav and arrived within 60 minutes. I arrived at the destination and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the work she said, "Now I'm becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel as I had only just acquired it several days ago because my old one, which I used for more than 25 years, eventually died on me". I got the job done and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a lovely Norfolk woman!

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.
