It was about 6 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting talking over the weekend's tennis, waiting around for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Clayhall and put petrol in her diesel friend's Hyundai Scoupe rental by mistake. She was pretty troubled apparently, saying "I just can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably do happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Wandsworth we are encountering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly never start the motor - not even to shift it to a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

It was 7:30 am on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday and I was on the way to assist an old lovely lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel precious Ford Club Wagon in Clayhall.

A motorist who had put unleaded in his diesel mate's Lexus IS-F contacted us for a fuel drain at the Murco petrol station in Clayhall.

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.
