It was close to 10 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were resting there talking about the recent rugby results, waiting around for the next job for the day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Manor Park and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel silver Suzuki Samurai rental by mistake. She was fairly agitated apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this often happen. She managed to get the car into a protected position and, since it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman fairly quickly.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Nottinghamshire we have seen an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not understanding how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

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

Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And of course never start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may most likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

If perhaps you get in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the technical skills and experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in NG11 Postcode - Manor Park Misfueling

Just had a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a gloomy Sunday and I was on my way to help an elder lovely lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel old Peugeot 307 in Manor Park. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station and was broken down along a backwater road on the way to visit her family. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing the work she explained, "I have been getting quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel because I'd just bought it several days back after my former one, which I'd had for about thirty years, inevitably died on me". I completed the drain and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant Nottinghamshire lady!

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 VAT 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.
