The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely never switch on the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In the event that you did start the car you would likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Poleshill

I am certainly not so interested in doing the job on Sundays, and the other day was the same. I'd only just departed the family after eating a magnificent roast made for me by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a guy after he filled the incorrect fuel in his aunt's BMW X5 M. He was only in Poleshill and so I was there soon. Just as I drove up behind the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my concentration on other considerations and didn't ascertain I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted any kind of problems through running it?" I stated generally there probably should not be any kind of harm and that also I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained right away. Naturally I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in the suitable fuel, and thus one more content motorist could continue on his trip without fuss. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that is exactly what can make carrying out work on weekends in Somerset just a little bit better for me personally!

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 VA 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.
