The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around County Durham we are finding a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And of course take care not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Whenever you get in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the practical competence and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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 VA 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.
