The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Gloucestershire we are noticing a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially due to people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And absolutely do not turn over the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to all types of AdBlue contamination.

I'm not that excited about running on Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I'd just come away from home filled with a wonderful lunch made for us by the better half, and I was on the way to help a fellow after he had put the incorrect petrol in his beautiful Dodge Ram. He was situated in Cockleford and so it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. Just as I drove up right behind the car and started work he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my attention on stuff and failed to grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought on any damage by driving it?" I stated that generally there shouldn't be damage and that I'd personally remove the fuel as soon as possible. Naturally I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and thus yet another happy client could continue on his traveling without the need for fuss. He did not stop thanking me, and this is what tends to make operating on Sundays in Gloucestershire just a tiny bit better for me personally!

This was certainly an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly dawn and almost noone was stirring. It had been pretty dead thus far, and Ryan and I were sitting about browsing some old newspapers. It was a rare peaceful time in Gloucestershire. Actually it was in fact so relaxing that the instant the phone ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The person on the other end explained: "I've ended my overnight shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in my diesel bright red Vauxhall Signum". We instructed him to inform us just where the vehicle was situated and we hit the road, ending up in Cockleford no more than an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the vehicle. He said many thanks for showing up so promptly. While we were returning to the office we found two young women at the side of the road who seemed to have a flat. Accordingly we pulled up to change it, much 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.
