The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Essex we are identifying progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of people not understanding the right way to to make use of (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the vehicle.

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

Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And of course be careful not to start up the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

If perhaps you find yourself in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the specialised skills and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Craigs End - Wrong Fuel in Car Craigs End

I enjoyed a great day cycling during my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the next day as I headed out to aid a new family who were vacationing in Craigs End. They'd pulled over after putting the wrong fuel into their super Audi RS6, and the car was about half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing goes on all the time in Essex and that it's nothing to be concerned about, however he all the same got an ear bashing. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I drained out all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove away I waved good-bye and thought about what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Craigs End

I am not so keen on working on weekends, and a while back was the same. I had just come away from home after a wonderful Sunday roast cooked for me by the wife, and I was on the way to help a gentleman who filled the incorrect fuel in his black Jeep Compass. He was stationed in Craigs End thus I was there very quickly. As I arrived behind the vehicle and got out he told me "Thank God! I incredibly had my thoughts on other considerations and didn't realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted damage simply by driving it?" I said there shouldn't be any problems and also that I'd get the wrong fuel drained as quickly as possible. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled up with the suitable fuel, and so one more happy motorist was able to continue on his journey without the need for hassle. The gentleman could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what makes working on Sundays in Essex just that little bit less painful for me personally!

This was the night shift. It was roughly 3 in the morning and noone was about. It had been quite quiet until now, and me and Mark were relaxing perusing some old newspapers. That was an uncommon peaceful time in Essex. Actually it was in fact so calm that the moment my mobile eventually rang I leaped! The voice told me: "I have ended my overnight shift and foolishly put petrol in the diesel mom's Toyota Highlander Hybrid by mistake". We asked him to let us know exactly where the car was and we set off, reaching him in Craigs End not as much as half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for coming out so rapidly. As we were going back home we saw two young ladies on the edge of the road who seemed to have a puncture. Obviously we pulled up and helped them change it, 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 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.
