AdBlue Contamination
All around Dorset we are discovering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people being unsure of the way to use it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.
Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?
Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly do not crank the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.
In the event that you get in this position don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the practical expertise and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Holt
We were contacted by a customer whose old Toyota RAV4 had stopped on a road because he put the wrong fuel in it. "I mixed up the pumps and put the wrong fuel in my vehicle in error. These guys came out and fixed the situation right after my vehicle quit." We purged the unleaded from the diesel tank and flushed the system completely afterwards and the gentleman was able to carry on with his deliveries.
Wrong Fuel Doctor Holt - Fuel Rescue Holt
This was certainly what is called the night shift. It was about sunrise and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become fairly dead until now, and Paul and I were loafing looking at a number of old magazines. This was a rare restful time in Dorset. Actually it was that relaxing that the moment the phone eventually rang it made me start! The person on the other end said: "I've just completed my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in my mustard yellow Volvo V90 by mistake". I got him to tell us just where he was located and we set off, reaching him in Holt 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the vehicle and he said many thanks for coming out so promptly. As we were heading back to the office we found two ladies at the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we stopped to change it, much 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
