The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Greater Manchester we are discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the car.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained right away. And definitely do not switch on the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking place. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

In case you find yourself in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our experts have the technical knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in WA3 Postcode - Lowton Heath Misfueling

What a good night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a warm Saturday and we were off to assist an elder woman after she put petrol in her diesel friend's Peugeot 104 in Lowton Heath. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up on a backwater lane en route to see her grandchildren. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and was with her within 60 minutes. I turned up at the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was working she said to me, "Now I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I had just got it several days ago after my other one, which I had owned for about 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a precious Greater Manchester lady!

And so, in case you've filled your petrol car with the wrong fuel, or put petrol in your diesel automobile somewhere in Greater Manchester, contact us now. Our professional mechanics are available for your call.

Wrong Fuel Assist Lowton Heath - Wrong Fuel in Car Lowton Heath

I had enjoyed a wonderful day hiking on my off day and felt pleased the following morning as I was en route to assist a new couple who were vacationing in Lowton Heath. They'd broken down after filling petrol into their buff Ford Transit, and were about half an hour away. I showed up at their location and smiled as I heard to the woman telling her spouse off for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on on a regular basis in Greater Manchester and that it's really nothing at all to stress about, even so he all the same had his ear bent. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching as they drove away I mouthed good bye and thought about what her indoors would do to me if I made the very same mistake... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

It can't be nice conking out in a automobile filled with the improper fuel in the middle of the road.

It truly was what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was about 2:30am and hardly anyone was about. It had become fairly quiet until now, and Brian and I were sitting reading through a number of old articles. That was a rare quiet time in Greater Manchester. It was indeed so quiet that when the telephone ultimately rang I jumped! The voice said: "I just concluded my evening shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in the maroon BMW 600 in error". I got him to let us know where he was situated and we set off, arriving in Lowton Heath under an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the engine. He said thank you for getting there so quickly. As we were heading back home we found two girls at the side of the road who looked like they suffered a flat. As a result 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 VA 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.
