The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hammersmith and Fulham we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most definitely don't start up the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Just had a quality night of sleep! It was 7:30 on a bright Monday and I was on my way to assist an old sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel metallic blue Jaguar XK Series in Walton-on-Thames. I'd been told she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up on a country road en route to visit her family. I popped her location into the Satnav and got there in less than an hour. I reached the car and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was working she explained, "I have been getting fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel since I had only got it a few days back when my other car, which I had used for about 25 years, finally stopped working". I got the drain done and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely Hammersmith and Fulham lady!

This was certainly what we call an unsociable hour to be up. It was roughly 3 in the morning and noone was stirring. It had been fairly quiet up to now, and Ray and I were relaxing browsing some old articles. It was a rare restful time in Hammersmith and Fulham. Actually it was indeed that relaxing that the instant my mobile ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The customer told me: "I've just ended my evening shift and stupidly poured petrol in my diesel new Volkswagen by mistake". I told him to let us know exactly where he was located and we left, getting to him in Walton-on-Thames no more than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the vehicle. He said thank you for getting there so fast. While we were heading back to the depot we spotted two young women at the side of the street who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to change it, much to their elation.

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.
