The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Bedfordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Bedfordshire we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not understanding how to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never start up the engine - not even to shift it to a parking spot. If you have started the car you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Phone us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
