In due time we got a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Cotonwood and put petrol in a diesel light blue Audi V8 rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather irritated apparently, stating "I just can't believe I have messed up the car!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Shropshire we have identified an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by people not being aware of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the car.

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

Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And obviously never switch on the car - not even to move it to a parking area. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SY13 Postcode - Cotonwood Misfueling

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and we were off to help an old sweetheart after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel yellow BMW 760 in Cotonwood. I had been informed she drove away from the filling station and was pulled up on a rural road on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I punched the location straight into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour. I got to the location and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said, "I have been becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car using diesel because I had only bought it a short while ago after my old car, which I had owned for over twenty five years, finally died". I got the job done and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a delightful Shropshire woman!

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.
