The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Havering we are encountering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists not understanding how to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.

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

As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And of course do not switch on the engine - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in RM13 Postcode - South Hornchurch Misfueling

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a warm Saturday and we were off to assist an old woman who put the wrong fuel in her diesel apricot Mercedes SLK55 AMG in South Hornchurch. She told us that she drove away from the filling station and pulled up in a backwater lane en route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour or so. I turned up at the location and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the drain she told me, "Now I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel because I had just bought it a week ago when my other car, which I had had for about twenty five years, eventually stopped working". I got the drain completed and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a pleasant Havering 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.
