The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Lancashire we are encountering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained right away. And most definitely never crank the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in L39 Postcode - Aughton Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Sunday and we were on the way to help an elder woman after she put petrol in her diesel mustard yellow Peugeot 307 in Aughton. I had been advised she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down on a backwater lane on route to visit her grandchildren. I popped her location in the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel since I had just bought it a week ago when my other car, which I'd used for about twenty years, inevitably stopped working". I got the job completed and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks. What a precious Lancashire woman!

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.
