The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Wiltshire we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers not understanding how to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And of course take care not to crank the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the practical know-how and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

I am not necessarily that enthusiastic about working Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I'd only just come away from the family following a fantastic roast cooked by the wife, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman who had put the incorrect fuel in his precious Peugeot 3008. He was stationed in Upper Pickwick therefore it wasn't a long time before I got to him. As I drove up at the car and got out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my mind on other stuff and didn't perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted any kind of harm by running it?" I revealed there should not be harm and also I'd personally remove the fuel as quickly as possible for him. It goes without saying that I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and thus one more delighted customer had the ability to continue on their trip without the need for fuss.

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.
