It was just before 6 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it had not ceased pouring! Brian and I were resting going over the weekend's football results, at the ready for the 6th job of the day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Chemistry and filled petrol in her diesel metallic yellow Vauxhall Corsa hire car. She was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things do happen. She was able to get the car into a safe spot and, since it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could get to the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Shropshire we have encountered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Should you discover yourself to be in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the specialised expertise and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Chemistry - Wrong Fuel in Car Chemistry

I had enjoyed a perfect afternoon hiking during my off day and was feeling cheerful the following working day as I set out to help a young couple on vacation in Chemistry. They'd broken down after filling diesel in their metallic blue Kia Sorento, and were approximately an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled while I heard to the lady telling her hubby off for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place quite frequently in Shropshire and that it's truly nothing at all to be concerned about, but he still had an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive off I waved good bye and wondered what my wife would ask me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would never live it down!

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.
