The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!

We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Cheshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Cheshire we are identifying a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by people not understanding how to use it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly don't crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

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


Wrong Fuel in Car in CH1 Postcode - Woodbank Misfueling

Just had a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a sunny Wednesday and we were off to help an elder lady who had put petrol in her diesel dirty red Land Rover Discovery in Woodbank. I had been told she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded in a rural lane en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the destination and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing the work she explained, "I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I'd only acquired it a few days back because my previous one, which I had owned for over 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a precious Cheshire lady!

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.
