The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we have seen a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people not being aware of the way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

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

Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely don't turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Contact us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to take care of every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BS40 Postcode - The Wrangle Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and I was on my way to help an elder lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel canary yellow Peugeot Partner in The Wrangle. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded on a rural lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location punched straight into the Satnav and got there inside 60 minutes. I got to the location and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel because I had only bought it a couple of days ago after my old one, which I used for over 30 years, finally died on me". I got the drain done and she presented me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a delightful Somerset lady!

And so, if you have filled your petrol car with diesel, or put petrol in your diesel car just about anywhere in Somerset, contact us immediately. Our expert mechanics are all set for your call.

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.
