The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed if you’ve put AdBlue in a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s made from a mixture of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue tends to be disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically if you run the engine with AdBlue in the fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the AdBlue will be pulled into your fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, leading to disastrous and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Flaxpool

Now I'm certainly not that enthusiastic about doing the job on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had just departed the family filled with a fantastic roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was en route to deal with a fellow because he filled the incorrect fuel in his winter grey Land Rover Discovery Series II. He was stationed in Flaxpool therefore I was with him rapidly. As I pulled up at the car and got out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I foolishly had my concentration on other stuff and failed to realise I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I created any kind of problems by running it?" I said that there shouldn't be any kind of damage and that I'd personally get the fuel drained at once for him. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled up with the suitable fuel, and so one more pleased customer could continue their traveling with no bother. The man couldn't stop thanking me, and this is what makes earning a living on Sundays in Somerset just that little bit easier for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Flaxpool - Fuel Rescue Flaxpool

A driver from Flaxpool with her kids in her diesel winter grey Honda Civic had put £30 of petrol at the filling station. She phoned us sobbing and genuinely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and didn't know what could happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that everything would be alright and that she would be up and running quickly. When we arrived she was visible upset but as our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she recognised that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She quickly brightened up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Particularly with the children on board."

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.
