The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you can do in case you’ve put AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that’s made from a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue tends to be harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue is going to be squirted into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, bringing about serious and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

In case you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the specialised know-how and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

I'd had a terrific day cycling on my off day and was feeling delighted the next working day as I was en route to assist a young couple on vacation in Long Ditton. They had pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their brand new Land Rover Range Rover Classic, and were close to half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and laughed while I heard to the gal telling her spouse off for turning out to be so daft. "Precisely how could you even find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him.

This really was what we call the graveyard shift. It was about 2:30 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It had been rather uneventful until now, and me and John were sitting about perusing a few old papers. That was an uncommon quiet time in Surrey. It was indeed that peaceful that when the telephone rang it made me start! The person said: "I've just ended my night shift and stupidly put petrol in the canary yellow BMW Z4 in error". We told him to let us know exactly where he was situated and we left, ending up in Long Ditton less than half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor. He thanked us profusely for coming out so rapidly. While we were heading back to the office we noticed two ladies on the side of the street who seemed to have a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled over to change it, to their elation.

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 VAT 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.
