The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hampshire we are identifying a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists not understanding the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And certainly do not start the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Phone us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Wittensford

I'm not ever very interested in doing the job weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd only just departed the wife and kids after having a lovely dinner prepared for us by the wife, and I was on the way to sort out a guy who put the wrong fuel in his sunflower yellow Audi RS6. He was located in Wittensford so I was on scene soon. As I drove up at the rear of the car and stepped out he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my thoughts on other things and did not grasp that I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I created any kind of problems simply by starting it?" I said that truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of problems and that also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained quickly for him. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the suitable fuel, and another pleased customer could carry on with their ride with no difficulty. The guy could not stop thanking me, and that makes carrying out work on Sundays in Hampshire that little bit better to me!

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.
