It was about 7 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were relaxing there commenting on the golf results, at the ready for the 8th call for the day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Bufton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel mate's Audi A3 hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably happen.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!

We can come to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car. They will be able to deal with any of the most common troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Leicestershire we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And certainly take care not to start up the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will probably need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

If perhaps you get in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts have the practical knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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 VAT 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.
