The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In West Sussex we have discovered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the vehicle.

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

Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And absolutely never crank the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in RH20 Postcode - Rackham Misfueling

A customer had stopped on a street, Rackham just after having wrong fueled. She was crying and fairly agitated as she had put £40 of petrol in her diesel car. When she called us we made an effort to cool her as well as we could, reassuring her that all would be no problem. When we reached her she was no longer distressed and was pretty curious in watching our fuel drainer perform the fuel drain on her grey Peugeot 405. Afterwards she said: "My car is akin to my baby, I recently bought it and it genuinely concerned me that I had put a whole lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm glad that it was very easily repairable."

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Rackham

We completed a wrong fuel removal exercise on the drive of a beautiful residential home in Rackham not so long ago. "I put petrol in my diesel car and managed to more or less get home when my car stopped." Our specialist went out, despite the fact that it was fairly late at night, and performed a fuel drain and purge on the metallic grey Renault Laguna to everyone's satisfaction.

This was certainly what is called the night shift. It was around 3 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It had been quite quiet thus far, and me and Brian were sitting reading a number of old papers. This was an uncommon calm hour in West Sussex. It was indeed that calm that the instant the phone inevitably rang it made me start! The person on the other end told me: "I just finished my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in my diesel light blue Volvo740 by mistake". We got him to inform us where the car was located and we left, ending up in Rackham only half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the car. He thanked us profusely for arriving so quickly. As we were going back to the depot we spotted two young women on the edge of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled up and helped them change it, to their elation.

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.
