The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container lying at the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in West Sussex to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over West Sussex we are discovering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And of course do not start up the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Should you find yourself in this situation don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the technical competence and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
