It was before 10 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's football results, waiting around for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Radcliffe and put petrol in a diesel grass green Fiat Scudo hire car in error. She was very affected it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly often happen.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Greater Manchester we have encountered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by people not being totally sure the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at once. And of course do not start the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you would very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct every type of AdBlue contamination.

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.
