It was about 8 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were resting there talking over the recent sports rankings, ready for the seventh telephone call to come in. Eventually we received a call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Field Dalling and put the wrong fuel in a diesel modern Ford Focus ST lease car in error. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was just a few minutes from us, we could get to her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home satisfied and much less worried. Yet another job in Norfolk well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Norfolk we have noticed progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists not knowing the way to use it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the car - not even to shift it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

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.
