The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Warwickshire we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not understanding how to work with it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it immediately. And definitely be careful not to crank the car - not even to shift it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Contact us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a rainy Sunday and we were off to help an elder lovely lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel beautiful Hyundai Scoupe in Bodymoor Heath. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded along a country lane on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location punched in the TomTom and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the car and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the work she said, "I have been becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I'd only bought it a couple of days ago because my other one, which I'd used for about twenty years, eventually died". I finished the drain and she presented me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a delightful Warwickshire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Bodymoor Heath - Wrong Fuel in Car Bodymoor Heath

I enjoyed a great afternoon fishing on my off day and was feeling cheerful the following working day as I set out to help a young family away in Bodymoor Heath. They had conked out after filling diesel into their rust red Honda Prelude, and they were about an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and laughed while I heard to the lady telling off her partner for actually being so silly. "How could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing happens everyday in Warwickshire and that it's nothing to worry about, but he still had an earful. I felt sorry for the chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed so long and wondered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I'd never live it down!

A driver from Bodymoor Heath with a full car of little ones in her diesel grey Subaru Impreza had put £50 of petrol at the BP petrol station. She phoned us weeping and very distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that all should be okay and that she would be up and running very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but while our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she discovered that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon enough brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Specifically with the youngsters on board."

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.
