Before long we had a call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Widcombe and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Ferarri red Renault Traffic lease car. She was rather distressed it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!"

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Somerset we have identified more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not knowing the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Because the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And absolutely don't start up the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

If perhaps you end up in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the specialised competence and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

They'd conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their green Toyota Solara, and the car was about an hour's drive away.

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.
