It was after ten pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were relaxing there commenting on the footy results, ready for the next job for the day to come in. Finally we received the call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Brent Eleigh and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Ferarri red Mitsubishi Montero rental car. The unfortunate thing was fairly agitated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things do happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected position and, because it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to arrive at her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got very wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and much less concerned. A job in Suffolk well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Suffolk we have seen an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from people not being aware of the right way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it immediately. And obviously don't start up the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Whenever you find yourself in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the technical competence and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Brent Eleigh - Wrong Fuel in Car Brent Eleigh

I'd had a wonderful evening cycling on my off day and felt pleased the next day as I set out to assist a new couple who were on vacation in Brent Eleigh. They had conked out after inserting petrol into their white Mitsubishi Endeavor, and were roughly an hour away. I got there at their position and smiled while I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this situation occurs on a regular basis in Suffolk and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he all the same had his ear bent by his wife. Poor boy. Anyhow, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove away I waved good-bye and wondered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I'd never hear the end of it!

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.
