The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Kingston upon Thames we have found progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the car.

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

As the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And of course do not switch on the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Call us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in IG3 Postcode - Fair Cross Misfueling

A young lady had come to a stop on a road, Fair Cross having just put petrol in her diesel car. She was crying and fairly distressed as she had put £50 of petrol in her diesel car. When she phoned us we made an effort to calm her as best we could, reassuring her that everything would be no problem. When we arrived with her she was not upset any more and was really interested in watching our fuel drainer complete the fuel drain on her bright yellow Jaguar XJ Series. Later she said: "My car is like my baby, I only recently bought it and so it honestly concerned me that I had put such a large amount of wrong fuel in it. I'm glad that it was easily repairable."

A woman living in Fair Cross called us shortly after she managed to get her misfueled automobile to her office. She had filled unleaded in her diesel faithful Vauxhall Bedford and, like plenty before her, imagined that she would be able to basically fill the tank with diesel and it would run alright. The engine was coughing and then it stopped when she reached the entrance of her office. We soon went to work on the fuel drain after she called and got it sorted within one hour while she was working.

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.
