The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around East Riding of Yorkshire we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out asap. And of course do not turn over the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Just had a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a bright Saturday and we were on my way to help an elder lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel creamy white Mazda B2600 in Hilston. I'd been informed she had left the filling station and was broken down on a country road en route to pay a visit to her family. I got her location punched in the Satnav and arrived within an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was working she said to me, "Now I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I had only just got it a short while back right after my former one, which I'd had for more than 25 years, eventually stopped working". I got the drain done and she presented me a toffee and said thanks. Such a lovely East Riding of Yorkshire lady!

Now I am not ever that keen on running on Sundays, and the other day was no different. I'd just come away from home after a tasty roast cooked by the better half, and I was on my way to help a man because he put the incorrect petrol in his beloved Jaguar XK. He was only in Hilston so I arrived there soon. Just as I pulled up at the vehicle and got busy draining he told me "Praise the Almighty! I foolishly had my concentration on stuff and failed to perceive I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I inflicted any damage by starting it?" I explained that truth be told there should not be harm and also I'd personally get the fuel drained right away for him. Naturally I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled up with the suitable fuel, and so one more pleased motorist was able to continue on his ride without the fuss. He could hardly stop thanking me, and this is exactly what makes carrying out work on Sundays in East Riding of Yorkshire just a small bit better for me personally!

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.
