The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Derbyshire we are identifying more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by people not being totally sure the way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it asap. And definitely take care not to switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in S45 Postcode - Farhill Misfueling

Just had a great night's sleep! 7:00 am on a rainy Tuesday and I was en route to assist an elder lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel cream Toyota FJ Cruiser in Farhill. I'd been told she had left the petrol station and was stranded along a country road along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and got there within an hour or so. I reached the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she told me, "Now I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel because I'd just got it a couple of days back right after my former car, which I'd owned for more than twenty years, inevitably stopped working". I completed the job and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a delightful Derbyshire lady!

I had a great afternoon fishing on the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the following working day as I headed out to help a new family vacationing in Farhill. They stopped after inserting petrol into their bright yellow Volvo740, and they were close to an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smiled as I heard to the wife berating her hubby for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you conceivably manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this happens quite frequently in Derbyshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, but he all the same had an earful by his wife. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove off I shouted good-bye and wondered what my wife would ask me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

A customer working in Farhill called us as soon as she tried to get her misfueled vehicle to the office. She had filled unleaded in her diesel shiny Mitsubishi Diamante and, like many prior to her, imagined that she could simply fill her vehicle with diesel and it'd run alright. The car was chugging and then it stopped when she came to the entrance of her work. We soon went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it repaired within an hour while she was working. She came outside later on and thanked us saying, "I'm really 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.
