The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Norfolk we are discovering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it immediately. And absolutely never switch on the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Now I am certainly not overly enthusiastic about doing the job Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd just departed home filled with a superb Sunday roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was on my way to deal with a man after he had filled the wrong petrol in his friend's Citron Picasso. He was situated in Silvergate hence it wasn't a long time before I got to him. Just as I drove up at the car and got out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my mind on stuff and didn't realise I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused any harm by simply starting it?" I said there shouldn't be any kind of damage and also that I would personally get the fuel drained right away for him. Needless to say I drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and so one more delighted customer was able to carry on with his trip without difficulty. The man did not stop thanking me, and that makes working on Sundays in Norfolk just that tiny bit easier for me!

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.
