It was after 10 pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Dan and me were resting there going over the recent rugby results, waiting around for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Redlands and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel bright yellow Toyota Land Cruiser hire car. She was quite irritated apparently, crying "I cannot believe I have messed up the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!"

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Somerset we have discovered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out right away. And definitely do not switch on the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the event that you have started the car you will very likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the specialised knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TA11 Postcode - Redlands Misfueling

What a great night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Wednesday and we were off to help an old lady after she put petrol in her diesel new Mitsubishi Endeavor in Redlands. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and stranded on a rural road on the way to pay a visit to her family. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and was with her within 60 minutes. I reached the destination and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "Now I'm getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel seeing that I'd just acquired it a couple of days back right after my old car, which I owned for more than 30 years, inevitably died". I finished the drain and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely Somerset lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Redlands - Wrong Fuel in Car Redlands

I had a terrific evening golfing on my off day and was feeling contented with myself the next working day as I headed out to assist a new family who were on holiday in Redlands. They broken down after adding petrol in their beautiful Toyota, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smiled as I heard to the gal telling off her hubby for actually being so silly. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing takes place quite frequently in Somerset and that it's nothing to worry about, but he all the same got his ear bent by his wife. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed good-bye and considered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the same mistake... I'd under no circumstances 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 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.
