It was after 5 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's footy rankings, prepared for the sixth call that day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Hoe and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel aunt's Mercedes SLK55 AMG lease car in error. The poor lady was quite troubled it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this do happen.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do in the event that you may have poured AdBlue in a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical made out of a blend of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is actually harmful to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will likely be pulled into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, leading to disastrous and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

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.
