The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Somerset we are encountering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially due to motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the car.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And absolutely never crank the motor - not even to move it into a parking area. In cases where you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to every type of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Wedmore - Wrong Fuel in Car Wedmore

I had a great day hiking on the weekend and was feeling contented the following working day as I was on the way to aid a new family who were holidaying in Wedmore. They had broken down after inserting the wrong fuel into their faithful Austin Mini Cooper S, and they were approximately an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the wife telling her spouse off for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually be able to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing takes place on daily basis in Somerset and that it's really nothing to worry about, even so he yet still got an earful. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted so long and pondered on what my missus would do to me if I made the very same error... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Wedmore

Now I am not actually so hot for doing the job on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had just left the family after a tasty Sunday roast prepared by the missus, and I was off to deal with a man after he filled the wrong petrol in his friend's VW. He was stationed in Wedmore therefore I was on scene soon. Just as I arrived at the rear of the car and stepped out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my mind on other things and did not ascertain I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I created harm through running it?" I revealed that there should not be any kind of damage and that also I would personally remove the fuel immediately for him. Naturally I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and then one more happy client had the ability to carry on with their traveling without any hassle. He did not stop thanking me, and that is actually what makes earning a living on Sundays in Somerset just a small bit less painful for me personally!

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.
