It was before ten pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were seated there talking over the recent golf, at the ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Broadplat and put the wrong fuel in a diesel silver Cadillac Sixty Special rental car in error. She was rather agitated it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!"

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Oxfordshire we are discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not knowing how to to make use of (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the car.

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

Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And certainly do not crank the car - not even to move it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you will most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Phone us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Broadplat

I am certainly not too inclined to running weekends, and last week was the same. I had only just come away from the wife and kids after a lovely dinner cooked by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a fellow after he had put the incorrect fuel in his navy blue Vauxhall Signum. He was only in Broadplat therefore I arrived on scene soon. As I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my concentration on stuff and didn't perceive I've put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought about any kind of problems by simply driving it?" I explained that truth be told there shouldn't be any harm and also that I would get the wrong fuel drained as quickly as possible. As expected I drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and filled up with the correct fuel, and then another happy client was able to continue on their ride without hassle. The man did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what makes working on Sundays in Oxfordshire that little less painful to me!

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.
