It was around five pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and me were resting commenting on the sports, at the ready for the next call of the day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Harlow and put petrol in her diesel brand new Volvo V50 rental in error. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to find the woman fairly quickly.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do if you may have put AdBlue into a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that’s made from a blend of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is definitely devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the AdBlue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

Contact us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

A man phoned us from his place on a street in Harlow. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a aunt's VW GLI) is not starting and is creating very bad noises when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would remedy the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, did the fuel drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He said that he would be certain to explain to people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it drained promptly.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Harlow

I'm not ever excessively excited about running weekends, and last week was the same. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids following a wonderful dinner made for us by the wife, and I was on the way to deal with a man after he put the incorrect fuel in his raspberry red Toyota Prius. He was only in Harlow therefore I was there quickly. Just as I drove up right behind the car and got busy draining he said to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my attention on something else and did not perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about some problems through driving it?" I stated truth be told there shouldn't be any harm and also that I would remove the fuel quickly. As expected I drained the fuel from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and so yet another content motorist had the ability to continue on his ride without the need for bother. He could not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what tends to make working on weekends in Essex a little bit easier in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Harlow - Fuel Rescue Harlow

A young lady working in Harlow phoned us as soon as she tried to get her misfueled automobile to the office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel old Volkswagen Touareg 2 and, like many people before her, assumed that she could simply top up the tank with diesel and it'd be okay. The car was chugging and then it died when she arrived at the the front of her office. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it fixed inside 60 minutes while she was in the office. She came outside when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm really glad 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.
