The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lancashire we have identified a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of motorists being unsure of how to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

As the product is mostly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to start the engine - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Whenever you get in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the practical skills and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PR4 Postcode - Swillbrook Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's sleep! 7:00 am on a bright Saturday and I was on my way to assist an elder woman after she had put petrol in her diesel cream Kia Sportage in Swillbrook. I had been told she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded on a rural lane en route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and was with her within an hour. I turned up at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing the work she explained, "Now I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had only bought it a couple of days back when my former one, which I owned for over twenty five years, inevitably broke down". I finished the drain and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant 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.
