The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Lewisham we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not knowing how to to make use of (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely never start the engine - not even to move it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you may probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Any time you get in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the specialised knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist St Johns - Wrong Fuel in Car St Johns

I enjoyed a perfect evening cycling during my holiday and was feeling cheerful the next morning as I set off to aid a new family who were on holiday in St Johns. They had stopped after putting petrol into their modified Toyota Land Cruiser, and were approximately half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the girl telling off her hubby for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you even manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place on a regular basis in Lewisham and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, nevertheless he still got an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching as they drove away I mouthed farewell and wondered what my missus would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd never live it down!

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.
