The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking bay we can access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Staffordshire we are discovering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people being unsure of how to work with it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out immediately. And absolutely never start up the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Give us a call in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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 VAT 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.
