The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Shropshire we have seen an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers not being aware of how to use it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And absolutely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Call us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in TF8 Postcode - Ladywood Misfueling

What a great night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and I was en route to help an older lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel mum's Cadillac Escalade in Ladywood. I'd been told she had left the petrol station forecourt and pulled up along a country road en route to pay a visit to her family. I punched the location into the TomTom and got there within 60 minutes. I turned up at the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the drain she explained, "I have been becoming somewhat absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had only bought it a few days back when my other one, which I had for about 25 years, inevitably died". I got the job completed and she gave me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a precious Shropshire woman!

Therefore, in case you have filled your petrol automobile with diesel, or put the wrong fuel in your diesel vehicle just about anywhere in Shropshire, call us right away. Our experienced technicians are available for your call.

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.
