The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Warwickshire we have identified more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the car.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most definitely don't start up the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Contact us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CV35 Postcode - Hill Wootton Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Wednesday and we were on the way to help an old lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel beloved Cadillac Fleetwood in Hill Wootton. I'd been informed she drove away from the petrol station and pulled up along a rural lane on the way to pay a visit to her family. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing it she said to me, "I'm getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel as I'd only just purchased it a couple of days ago when my old car, which I had for more than twenty five years, finally broke down". I got the drain completed and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a delightful Warwickshire lady!

We supply you with clean fuel at pump cost, and we will in most cases have your vehicle fixed and able to be run in less than one hour. All mixed fuel is disposed of by us by way of a accredited waste company and recycled. It doesn't matter wherever you are located in the the country, WrongFuelSoS.com has the ability to get a vehicle to you to perform a full fuel drain on your car.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hill Wootton - Wrong Fuel in Car Hill Wootton

I had appreciated a wonderful evening fishing on the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the next working day as I was en route to assist a young couple who were vacationing in Hill Wootton. They broken down after inserting the wrong fuel into their gorgeous Chevrolet Colorado, and were around half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled while I heard to the gal berating her man for being so silly. "How could you possibly be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this occurs frequently in Warwickshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, but he yet still had his ear bent by his missus. Poor boy. Anyway, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove away I mouthed bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the very same error... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

We not long ago got a call from a man who put the wrong fuel in his apple green Seat Alhumbra in Hill Wootton. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "After putting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't notice the problem up until the time it conked out. You cleared the wrong fuel from my car and had it running again. I was happy due to both how quick you were and your prices". Needless to say we arrived punctually and flushed the engine after draining all the petrol from the diesel tank.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hill Wootton - Fuel Rescue Hill Wootton

It truly was an unsociable hour to be up. It was around dawn and hardly anyone was about. It had become rather quiet up to now, and me and Brian were sitting reading through a number of old papers. That was an unusual calm time in Warwickshire. It was that quiet that the instant the phone inevitably rang I leaped! The motorist on the phone stated: "I have ended my overnight shift and stupidly put petrol in my bright yellow BMW Z4 M Roadster in error". We got him to tell us where the car was situated and we set off, arriving in Hill Wootton not as much as an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor and he said many thanks for coming out so rapidly. While we were coming back home we saw two young ladies at the side of the highway who looked like they had a flat. Accordingly we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
