The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Shropshire we have discovered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not understanding how to use it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And obviously don't start up the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

In case you get in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the practical expertise and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

I'd had a great afternoon fishing on my afternoon off and felt delighted the following working day as I set off to help a young couple who were vacationing in Longnor Park. They had broken down after filling diesel in their blue Ford Taurus, and the car was roughly half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and smirked as I listened to the lady telling off her husband for being so daft. "Just how could you even find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this goes on on a regular basis in Shropshire and that it is nothing to get worried about, but he still had his ear bent. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I drained all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove away I shouted bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would say to me if I did the same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!

We have fuel drainers on call in the area all set and waiting to come to and empty your car of the wrong fuel or contaminated fuel. We work twenty four hours a day and seven days a week. All our employees are completely skilled and professional in handling all kinds of cars.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Longnor Park

I'm certainly not too excited about doing work Sundays, and last week was the same. I'd only just left home following a superb roast prepared by the wife, and I was en route to assist a gentleman who had put the incorrect petrol in his cream BMW 600. He was stationed in Longnor Park hence I was with him before long. As I pulled up at the car and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my concentration on something else and didn't grasp that I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought about some damage because of running it?" I revealed there probably should not be any problems and that I would personally get the fuel drained right away. As expected I drained the fuel from the vehicle and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and then yet another happy motorist had the ability to continue on his traveling without the fuss. The guy could not stop saying thanks to me, and this tends to make working on weekends in Shropshire just a little bit better for me personally!

A customer from Longnor Park with a full car of children in her diesel buff VW Fox had put £40 of petrol at the Texaco filling station. She phoned us weeping and extremely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and did not know what might happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that everything should be fine and that she would be back ready to go quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she discovered that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She quickly cheered up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the youngsters on board."

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.
