It was around 7 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were sitting going over the tennis, prepared for the sixth job of the day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Silfield and put petrol in her diesel trusty Kia Soul lease car. The unfortunate thing was fairly affected apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things sadly often happen. She managed to get the car to a secure spot and, as it was only a short distance from the office, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to return to the motel she was residing at. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off satisfied and less anxious. A misfuel correction in Norfolk well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Norfolk we have identified progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by people not being aware of how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And definitely never switch on the engine - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If you have started the car you will likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Whenever you get in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the specialised expertise and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
