The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

AdBlue Contamination

How to proceed in the event that you may have poured AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s made of a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It tends to be damaging to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the AdBlue is going to be squirted into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, causing serious and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

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

It truly was the graveyard shift. It was about dawn and noone was around. It had been fairly quiet until now, and Brian and I were relaxing browsing a couple of old newspapers. That was an unusual restful time in Oxfordshire. Actually it was so quiet that when the telephone rang it made me jump! The voice stated: "I just concluded my overnight shift and stupidly put petrol in the diesel elegant Suzuki Swift by mistake". I told him to tell us where he was and we hit the road, reaching him in Lyford less than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the car. He thanked us profusely for arriving so fast. As we were heading back home we noticed two ladies on the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat. As a result we got out 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 VAT 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.
