The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over County Durham we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not knowing the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most definitely take care not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. If you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Whenever you end up in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the practical expertise and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Saturday and I was off to help an older woman who had put petrol in her diesel teal Renault Espace in Broompark. I'd been advised she had left the petrol station and was pulled up on a rural lane along the way to pay a visit to her family. I got her location plugged into the Satnav and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I reached the car and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "I am getting rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel as I'd only just got it a short while ago because my former one, which I had had for about thirty years, eventually died on me". I got the drain completed and she gave me a toffee and said thanks. Such a lovely County Durham lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car County Durham - Petrol in Diesel Car Broompark

I am certainly not that inclined to running on weekends, and last week was the same. I had just left the family following a tasty lunch cooked by the missus, and I was on my way to deal with a fellow after he had put the wrong petrol in his mum's Mercedes E-Class. He was only in Broompark hence it wasn't long before I reached him. Just as I arrived at the rear of the car and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my mind on other considerations and failed to realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I created any kind of harm through starting it?" I stated there probably should not be problems and also I would get the contaminated fuel drained right away for him. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and so one more pleased client was able to carry on with their ride without the difficulty. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what can make working on Sundays in County Durham a little easier in my opinion!

This was certainly an unsociable hour to be up. It was roughly sunrise and noone was about. It was pretty uneventful until now, and me and Paul were relaxing looking at a few old articles. This was an unusual tranquil time in County Durham. It was in fact so peaceful that when the telephone ultimately rang it made me jump! The person on the other end said: "I have concluded my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in the super Audi V8 in error". We instructed him to tell us where exactly the vehicle was and we headed out, reaching him in Broompark under an hour or so later. The fuel was taken out from the car. He thanked us for coming out so fast. As we were heading back to the office we saw two young ladies on the side of the road who appeared to have a puncture. Accordingly we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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 VA 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.
