It was just after eight pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and I were resting talking about the recent golf results, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Burwell and put petrol in her diesel metallic yellow Volvo S40 rental by mistake. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things often happen.

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Lincolnshire we are identifying an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never start the car - not even to move it off of the pump. If you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Contact us in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
