The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Lancashire we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of people not knowing how to work with it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the car.

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

Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously do not start up the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

In the event that you find yourself in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the technical expertise and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Lumb - Wrong Fuel in Car Lumb

I had appreciated a great afternoon golfing on my off day and felt pleased the next working day as I headed out to assist a new family on vacation in Lumb. They pulled over after adding diesel in their new-shape Subaru Impreza, and were close to an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled as I heard to the wife telling off her spouse for being so daft. "How could you even be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this goes on everyday in Lancashire and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, however he all the same got an ear bashing. Poor chap. At any rate, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching as they drove away I mouthed goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!

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.
