Finally we received the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Tottleworth and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic grey Vauxhall Insignia hire car. She was pretty distressed it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Lancashire we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers not knowing the right way to use it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the car.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Whenever you find yourself in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the practical competence and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
