The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!

We're able to get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill up your automobile. They can also handle the normal issues which may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Cheshire we have seen increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to use it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it immediately. And most certainly don't turn over the car - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. If you have started the car you will very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix all types of AdBlue contamination.


Wrong Fuel in Car in WA1 Postcode - Paddington Misfueling

What a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a rainy Wednesday and we were on my way to assist an elder sweetheart after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel metallic blue Fiat Scudo in Paddington. I had been told she had left the filling station forecourt and pulled up along a country road en route to see her grandchildren. I punched the location into the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I turned up at the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "Now I'm getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car using diesel seeing that I had only acquired it several days back after my other one, which I had used for over 30 years, finally died". I got the job completed and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a delightful Cheshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Paddington - Wrong Fuel in Car Paddington

Last Monday a gentleman phoned us just after his khaki green Volkswagen ground to a halt along a road in Paddington. He had unintentionally put unleaded in his diesel motor and got so far as the street before having to pull over. It was really in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who lives not far away, was with him in about a quarter hour. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your timely response, especially at 1 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Paddington

We were contacted by a man whose faithful Cadillac STS had conked out on a road after a misfuel. "I mixed up the pumps and pumped petrol instead of diesel in my car in error. You arrived and resolved the situation right after my vehicle stopped." We purged the petrol from the diesel tank and flushed the fuel lines thoroughly afterwards and the gentleman was able to continue with his scheduled delivery.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Paddington - Fuel Rescue Paddington

A woman driving in Paddington called us as soon as she managed to get her misfueled car to her office. She had filled petrol in her diesel white VW Eurovan and, like many before her, thought that she could simply fill up her car with diesel and it'd be no problem. The engine was coughing and then it died when she got to the the front of her office. We soon went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed within an hour or so whilst she was in the office. She came outside afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm very pleased you fixed my car."

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.
