The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Berkshire we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And of course be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Wasing

I'm not overly inclined to doing work on weekends, and a while back was no different. I'd only just left the family following a wonderful roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was off to help a man who filled the incorrect fuel in his mum's Volvo240. He was stationed in Wasing thus it wasn't a long time before I reached him. Just as I drove up at the rear of the car and stepped out he told me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on other considerations and failed to ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I created any kind of problems as a result of driving it?" I said that there shouldn't be any problems and also I'd remove the wrong fuel immediately. Naturally I removed the fuel from the car and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and then one more pleased customer could carry on with his trip without the need for hassle. The man did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is what tends to make working on weekends in Berkshire just that little bit easier to me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Wasing - Fuel Rescue Wasing

A customer from Wasing with her little ones in her diesel beloved Mitsubishi Endeavor had put £45 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She contacted us sobbing and really distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle because of it. We told her that all would be okay and that she would be up and running very quickly. When we got there she was visible upset but while our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Particularly with the children in the back."

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.
