Eventually we got the call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Wickham Skeith and put petrol in a diesel dark green Mazda323 rental in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat troubled it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle!

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you should do if you’ve put AdBlue into a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid composed of a mix of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is actually damaging to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you started the car with AdBlue in your diesel tank. Once the engine has been started up the AdBlue is going to be pushed into your fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, resulting in devastating and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Saturday and I was on my way to assist an older sweetheart who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel precious Peugeot 406 in Wickham Skeith. I had been advised she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down in a backwater road along the way to visit her grandchildren. I got her location punched into the Satnav and arrived inside an hour or so. I turned up at the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was working she said, "I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I had only bought it a few days back when my former one, which I had owned for in excess of twenty five years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a lovely Suffolk 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 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.
