It was after five pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and me were resting talking over the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the next telephone call to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Torkington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel bright red Volkswagen Golf III hire car. The unfortunate lady was quite troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could reach her quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and much less stressed. A job in Greater Manchester done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Greater Manchester we have identified more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists not being totally sure how to use it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Give us a call if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of 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.
