Mark and me were sitting commenting on the recent golf results, at the ready for the seventh call that day to come in. Before long we received the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Lower Bartle and put petrol in her diesel bright white Jeep Compass hire car. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to get the car to a safe area and, as it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to find the woman almost instantly.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Lancashire we are noticing an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it asap. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
