The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Worcestershire we are noticing increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers not knowing how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it asap. And most definitely be careful not to start the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Wrong Fuel in Car in B97 Postcode - Southcrest Misfueling

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a bright Wednesday and we were en route to help an old lady after she had put petrol in her diesel metallic red Subaru Outback Sport in Southcrest. I had been told she had driven away from the filling station and was pulled up on a country road along the way to see her family. I plugged her location straight into the Satnav and arrived inside an hour or so. I reached the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. While I was doing it she told me, "I'm becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel as I had only purchased it several days back because my previous one, which I had used for about 25 years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she gifted me a toffee and said thank you. What a pleasant Worcestershire woman!

She had put petrol in her diesel brother's Renault Espace and, like many people prior to her, imagined that she would be able to simply top up the vehicle with diesel and it would run okay.

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.
