It was before 8 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and me were seated there going over the footy, at the ready for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Before long we got the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Lydiard Plain and put the wrong fuel in a diesel bright white Ford Focus lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty affected by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things do happen.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Wiltshire we are encountering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely take care not to start the car - not even to shift it into a parking area. In the instance that you have started the car you will probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

What a fantastic night of sleep! 7:00 on a bright Saturday and I was on the way to assist an elder lady after she put petrol in her diesel cyan Honda CR-V in Lydiard Plain. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station and was broken down in a rural lane along the way to see her godchildren. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and arrived inside an hour or so. I turned up at the car and removed the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing it she told me, "I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel as I'd only just bought it a week ago when my former one, which I had had for more than twenty five years, finally broke down". I completed the drain and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a precious Wiltshire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Lydiard Plain

It's no fun breaking down in a automobile full of the incorrect fuel on the road. One of our last customers who filled her car with the incorrect fuel (mate's Suzuki Vitara) in Lydiard Plain ran into precisely that dilemma: "You may already know that I erroneously filled my petrol car with diesel like a absolute plonker. I was so troubled about my error that I was actually in tears. However I needn't have worried simply because you were fantastic in draining and cleaning my car."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Lydiard Plain - Fuel Rescue Lydiard Plain

This really was the graveyard shift. It was roughly 2:30 in the morning and almost noone was about. It was rather uneventful until now, and Ryan and I were relaxing perusing several old articles. That was an uncommon tranquil time in Wiltshire. Actually it was so tranquil that the instant my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The customer on the opposite end stated: "I've just finished my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in my baby blue Mitsubishi Chariot by mistake". I got him to let us know where exactly the car was located and we headed out, arriving in Lydiard Plain no more than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the engine. He said thanks for coming so rapidly. While we were heading back home we noticed two girls at the edge of the street who seemed like they had a flat. As a result we pulled over 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.
