It was close to 9 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were resting there discussing the golf, waiting around for the next telephone call to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Tilstone Bank and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel light blue Kia Spectra rental car by mistake. She was pretty agitated apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!"

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Cheshire we are identifying more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by people not knowing how to to make use of (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely never start up the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

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.
