The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Lancashire we have noticed a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the car.

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

Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And most definitely be careful not to crank the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Whenever you end up in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and we were en route to help an older lovely lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel buff Peugeot 107 in Turton Bottoms. I'd been informed she drove away from the petrol station and pulled up on a backwater road on the way to see her family. I plugged the location into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I reached the destination and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing the drain she said, "I am getting quite forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I had only just got it a couple of days back right after my old one, which I'd owned for over twenty years, inevitably stopped working". I got the job done and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Lancashire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Turton Bottoms - Wrong Fuel in Car Turton Bottoms

I had a fantastic evening hiking during the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the following day as I set out to assist a young family away in Turton Bottoms. They conked out after adding the wrong fuel into their new Seat Ibiza, and were about half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the gal berating her hubby for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this problem happens all the time in Lancashire and that it's absolutely nothing to stress about, nonetheless he still got an ear bashing. Unlucky lad. In any case, I removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some correct fuel. As they drove down the road I waved goodbye and wondered what her indoors would do to me if ever I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

We assured her that everything should be okay and that she would be on the road soon. When we arrived she was visible distressed but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable.

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.
