The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Lincolnshire we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not knowing how to use it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out immediately. And absolutely don't crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in NG31 Postcode - Cold Harbour Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Wednesday and I was en route to assist an elder lady who had put petrol in her diesel baby blue Kia Soul in Cold Harbour. I had been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a rural road on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got her location plugged in the TomTom and got there inside an hour. I turned up at the car and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she said to me, "Now I'm getting rather absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car using diesel seeing that I'd only just got it several days ago when my previous car, which I'd used for more than 30 years, eventually died". I completed the job and she gave me a toffee and said thank you. Such a precious Lincolnshire lady!

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.
