The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it in the event that you’ve poured AdBlue into a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that is composed of a mix of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is actually damaging to your car's fuel system, especially if you started the car with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the AdBlue is going to be injected into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

Wrong Fuel Assist Gingers Green - Wrong Fuel in Car Gingers Green

I'd had a terrific afternoon hiking on my day off and was feeling pleased with myself the next working day as I headed out to help a young couple who were on vacation in Gingers Green. They'd broken down after adding diesel into their clean white Dodge Charger, and they were around half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the gal telling her spouse off for being so confused. "How could you actually find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this takes place frequently in East Sussex and that it is nothing to fret about, however he yet still got his ear bent. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted farewell and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Gingers Green

I'm not ever that interested in running Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I had only just come away from the wife and kids after having a wonderful Sunday roast prepared by the missus, and I was off to assist a man after he filled the wrong fuel in his matte black Austin Mini Cooper S. He was somewhere in Gingers Green therefore I arrived with him soon. As I drove up behind the car and started work he told me "Thank God! I incredibly had my thoughts on other considerations and failed to realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I caused any problems simply by driving it?" I revealed that generally there should not be any harm and also that I would personally get the fuel drained as soon as possible. It goes without saying that I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and thus another delighted client had the ability to continue his journey without any subsequent fuss. The gentleman did not stop thanking me, and this can make carrying out work on Sundays in East Sussex that tiny bit easier in my opinion!

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.
