It was just before seven pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were sitting there going over the weekend's football results, waiting for the seventh job to come in. Before long we had the call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Yew Tree and filled petrol in her diesel khaki green Mazda MX-3 lease car by mistake. The poor lady was quite troubled it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected position and, as it was only a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home contented and much less worried. Another job in Greater Manchester done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Greater Manchester we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the car.

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

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it asap. And most certainly never crank the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Should you discover yourself to be in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the technical expertise and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
