The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

In North Yorkshire we are finding more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the car.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it right away. And obviously never switch on the car - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Doctor North Grimston - Fuel Rescue North Grimston

This was exactly what we call an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around 2:30am and noone was around. It had been pretty dead thus far, and me and Paul were sitting about browsing a number of old newspapers. This was a rare restful moment in North Yorkshire. It was that calm that the instant my mobile ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The customer on the other end explained: "I've only just completed my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in the diesel teal Volvo C30 in error". We asked him to let us know where he was and we left, reaching him in North Grimston under an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He said thanks a lot for coming out so fast. As we were heading back to the office we saw two women at the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat. So we pulled up to help them change it, much to their elation.

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.
