The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!

Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your car or truck.

AdBlue Contamination

In Hampshire we have identified a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to people not knowing how to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to start up the motor - not even to move it into a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.


Wrong Fuel in Car in RG29 Postcode - Well Misfueling

A fairly alarmed driver called us from the Total petrol station at Hampshire to tell us that he put petrol in his diesel baby blue BMW X5; he wasn't really quite certain how he'd managed to do it. We informed him it was absolutely no problem and soon enough had our man out to him to clean the incorrect fuel from his car. Having purged the wrong fuel, he was subsequently back rolling again. He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the chap who appeared to perform the fuel drain was very very good - he didn't make me look and feel foolish."

We maintain comprehensive Environment Agency licencing and Liability insurance for your peace of mind. Because of more than one hundred and fifty years of combined fuel removal practical experience we know exactly how to have the job completed - period.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Well

We got a call from a individual whose beloved Hyundai Tiburon had conked out on a street because he put the wrong fuel in it. "I mixed up the pumps and put petrol instead of diesel in my car . You guys arrived and resolved the issue after my vehicle gave up." We drained the wrong fuel from the diesel tank and flushed the system completely afterwards and the motorist was able to go on with his deliveries.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Well - Fuel Rescue Well

A customer living in Well contacted us shortly after she had managed to get her misfueled vehicle to work. She had put unleaded in her diesel sombre grey Volvo850 and, like many prior to her, believed that she would be able to simply fill up the car with diesel and it would run fine. The vehicle was chugging and then it stopped when she came to the the front of her office. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it repaired within an hour whilst she was working. She came outside soon after and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely 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.
