The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Greater Manchester we have identified progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at once. And most certainly take care not to start up the motor - not even to shift it into a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Saturday and we were off to help an older lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel deep grey Cadillac Fleetwood in Smallshaw. I had been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded in a rural lane en route to visit her godchildren. I popped her location in the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I got to the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the work she said, "I have been getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel because I had only just acquired it a short while back because my other car, which I had owned for in excess of 30 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant Greater Manchester woman!

I appreciated a great day cycling on the weekend and felt cheerful the following morning as I set off to aid a young family who were holidaying in Smallshaw. They'd stopped after inserting petrol in their father's Jeep Comanche, and they were close to half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked as I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for being so daft. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this situation occurs regularly in Greater Manchester and that it's actually nothing at all to fret about, nonetheless he still had an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. Anyhow, I drained out the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed good-bye and considered what my missus would do to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

This really was what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was close to dawn and noone was about. It had become rather dead thus far, and Paul and I were loafing reading through a number of old papers. It was a rare tranquil hour in Greater Manchester. It was that tranquil that the instant my mobile inevitably rang I jumped! The person on the opposite end told me: "I have concluded my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in a winter grey Mazda929 by mistake". We instructed him to let us know where he was and we set off, arriving in Smallshaw no more than 30 minutes later. The fuel was removed from the vehicle and he said many thanks for showing up so rapidly. While we were heading back home we found two girls on the side of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. So we pulled over to change it, much to their delight.

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.
