Before long we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Rode Hill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel new Renault Megane rental in error.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it immediately. And most definitely be careful not to start the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

If you end up in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the practical know-how and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
