The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Flamborough (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive East Riding of Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car. They will be able to deal with the normal problems which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout East Riding of Yorkshire we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most definitely don't crank the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

If you find yourself in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the specialised knowledge and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
