The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hampshire we have found an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not being totally sure how to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to turn over the engine - not even to move it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Heathfield

Now I'm not necessarily too inclined to working weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just departed the wife and kids after having a fantastic dinner made for us by the wife, and I was on my way to sort out a fellow who had put the incorrect fuel in his pristine Mitsubishi Eclipse. He was situated in Heathfield so it wasn't long before I arrived with him. As I drove up at the rear of the car and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my mind on other stuff and did not perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I brought about any harm by simply driving it?" I explained truth be told there should not be any kind of problems and that I'd personally drain the fuel as quickly as possible for him. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the suitable fuel, and thus yet another satisfied motorist could carry on with their trip without any difficulty. The man couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what makes earning a living on Sundays in Hampshire just that little bit easier for me personally!

A motorist living in Heathfield phoned us after she tried to get her wrong fueled automobile to the office. She had put unleaded in her diesel metallic silver Volkswagen Tiguan and, like countless before her, imagined that she could simply top up the tank with diesel and it'd run alright. The engine was spluttering and then it stopped when she got to the entrance of her office. We promptly started on the fuel drain after she called and had it repaired in 60 minutes whilst she was at work. She came outside later on and thanked us saying, "I'm really happy you fixed my vehicle."

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 VAT 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.
