It was around five pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were sitting there commenting on the recent tennis results, waiting for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the BP filling garage in Halton Lea Gate and put the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic silver Audi S8 hire car. She was fairly troubled apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!"

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Northumberland we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
