The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Norfolk we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the car.

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

Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it right away. And obviously never turn over the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

If you end up in this scenario don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the technical know-how and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Thorpe Row

I'm not actually so hot for doing the job weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had just come away from the family after eating a lovely lunch prepared for me by the wife, and I was on my way to sort out a gentleman who filled the wrong petrol in his gorgeous Nissan Pathfinder. He was stationed in Thorpe Row therefore it wouldn't be long before I got to him. Just as I drove up at the car and started work he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I had my concentration on other things and failed to ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about harm as a result of running it?" I revealed generally there probably should not be any kind of damage and that I'd get the fuel drained as soon as possible. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with some suitable fuel, and so yet another contented customer was able to continue on his ride without any fuss. The man did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what helps make carrying out work on weekends in Norfolk just that little bit better for me!

It truly was what is called an unsociable hour to be awake. It was about 2:30am and hardly anyone was stirring. It was quite dead thus far, and me and Paul were loafing about looking at a few old articles. It was a rare restful time in Norfolk. It was indeed that peaceful that when the telephone ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The person told me: "I only just ended my night shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel gorgeous Fiat Nuova 500". We told him to inform us exactly where the vehicle was situated and we headed out, arriving in Thorpe Row only an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the car. He thanked us profusely for coming so promptly. While we were returning home we saw two ladies at the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat. So we pulled over to help them change it, to their elation.

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.
