The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we have seen a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not being aware of the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And obviously be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

If you discover yourself to be in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the technical skills and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

I had enjoyed a great afternoon hiking during my day off and was feeling delighted the following day as I set out to help a young family who were vacationing in Saintbridge. They had pulled over after filling diesel into their modified Lexus LX, and were close to an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smiled as I listened to the lady berating her hubby for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you actually find a way to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass constantly in Gloucestershire and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, even so he all the same had an earful by his missus. Poor guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove away I waved good-bye and wondered what my wife would ask me if I did the very same thing... I would never hear the end of it!

I was amazed because of both your speed and your price". Needless to say we arrived punctually and purged the engine after flushing the wrong fuel from the diesel tank.

This really was what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was close to dawn and nobody was stirring. It was pretty dead until now, and me and Mark were loafing about reading a couple of old magazines. It was an unusual calm moment in Gloucestershire. It was indeed so quiet that the moment my mobile inevitably rang I leaped with surprise! The voice stated: "I just concluded my night shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in a grey Land Rover Freelander by mistake". We told him to inform us just where he was and we left, getting to him in Saintbridge no more than half an hour later. The fuel was taken out from the engine. He said thanks for coming so fast. While we were returning home we saw two ladies on the side of the street who appeared to have a flat. Obviously we got out 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.
