The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we are finding a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not knowing how to use it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it asap. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to attend to every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Pightley

I am not necessarily very keen on carrying out work on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd only just departed the wife and kids filled with a magnificent lunch cooked for me by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a fellow who had filled the incorrect fuel in his rugged BMW M5. He was stationed in Pightley hence I was with him quickly. As I pulled up at the car and stepped out he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my concentration on other considerations and did not ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I created any damage simply by running it?" I determined there shouldn't be any kind of damage and also I would personally drain the fuel as soon as possible for him. Needless to say I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and filled up with the suitable fuel, and then yet another satisfied customer was able to continue on his trip without any subsequent bother. The guy couldn't stop thanking me, and that helps make working on Sundays in Somerset just that little bit better to me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Pightley - Fuel Rescue Pightley

A lady living in Pightley contacted us after she had tried to get her misfueled automobile to work. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel khaki green Suzuki Sidekick and, like countless prior to her, imagined that she would be able to just fill up the tank with diesel and it'd run fine. The vehicle was chugging and then it stopped when she came to the the front of her work. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it fixed in 60 minutes while she was working. She came out later on and thanked us saying, "I'm really glad you repaired my car."

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.
