The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Norfolk we have identified an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most definitely don't turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you would probably need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Contact us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in NR9 Postcode - Hingham Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Saturday and I was off to help an elder lady who had put petrol in her diesel friend's Land Rover in Hingham. I'd been told she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up in a backwater road along the way to visit her godchildren. I got her location punched into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour or so. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the work she said to me, "I am getting rather absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel since I'd only bought it several days ago when my previous car, which I owned for more than thirty years, finally died". I completed the job and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a lovely Norfolk lady!

A couple weeks ago a youngster phoned us right after his blue Kia Soul broke down in the middle of a road in Hingham. He had by accident put unleaded in his diesel car and was only able to drive to the street before needing to halt. It was yet in the early hours of the morning and our technician, who lives not far away, reached him in less than twenty minutes. We were able to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back into the vehicle. "Many thanks to you for your timely response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I truly appreciate it."

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Hingham

We did a wrong fuel removal job near a lovely house in Hingham not so long ago. "I had put petrol in my diesel car and was able to very nearly reach home when my car broke down." Our fuel drainer went out, despite the fact that it was pretty late at night, and completed a standard fuel drain and cleanse on the baby blue BMW 545 .

It truly was what we call an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly 3:30 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It had become pretty dead until now, and me and John were loafing reading through some old articles. That was a rare calm moment in Norfolk. Actually it was in fact that calm that the moment the phone ultimately rang it made me jump! The voice said: "I've only just concluded my overnight shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel husband's Nissan 350Z Roadster". We instructed him to tell us just where the vehicle was located and we left, getting to him in Hingham no more than half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the motor. He thanked us for arriving so rapidly. As we were going back home we found two young ladies at the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over to change it, much to their delight.

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.
