The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lancashire we are encountering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it asap. And certainly be careful not to start the car - not even to move it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lancashire - Petrol in Diesel Car Little Harwood

I am certainly not that keen on doing work on weekends, and a while back was the same. I had just left home following a lovely roast prepared for me by the wife, and I was on my way to deal with a man who put the wrong petrol in his winter grey Cadillac DTS. He was stationed in Little Harwood therefore I arrived with him quickly. As I pulled up at the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my concentration on other stuff and failed to realise I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on damage through driving it?" I determined there shouldn't be any kind of harm and also I'd drain the fuel as quickly as possible for him. Obviously I drained the fuel from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and so yet another happy motorist could carry on with their trip with no difficulty. The gentleman could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what helps make operating on Sundays in Lancashire just that little bit better for me personally!

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.
