The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Somerset we are noticing more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

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

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out asap. And certainly never start up the car - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

A few stories:

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Hornsbury

We recently had a phone call about a motorist who had put the wrong fuel in his dirty red Lexus in Hornsbury. He had conked out on the street. "After putting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't discover the dilemma up until I conked out. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and got it functioning once again. I was happy because of both your speed and your pricing". As you can imagine we appeared punctually and purged the engine after draining the unleaded from the diesel tank. On arrival our fuel drainer said the client was fuming, but was grinning his face off after the fuel drain.

This was exactly what we call an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly dawn and hardly anyone was around. It was fairly dead up to now, and Mark and I were sitting about perusing a couple of old newspapers. That was an unusual tranquil hour in Somerset. Actually it was that relaxing that the moment my mobile eventually rang it made me jump! The motorist stated: "I have just concluded my overnight shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel winter grey Volkswagen Golf by mistake". We got him to inform us where the vehicle was located and we headed out, getting to him in Hornsbury an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the motor. He said many thanks for showing up so rapidly. While we were coming back home we spotted two women at the side of the road who looked like they had a flat. So we got out 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.
