It was close to 5 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's golf rankings, prepared for the 6th call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Hickling Heath and filled petrol in a diesel cream Audi S8 lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we could get to her without delay. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home contented and less anxious. One more fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Norfolk we have discovered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly due to people not understanding the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Should you find yourself in this predicament don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the practical competence and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Here's a list of standard wrong fuel signs and symptoms:

  • Loss of engine power
  • Car cutting out, stuttering or even hiccuping
  • Difficulties starting the engine
  • Increased smoke

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.
