AdBlue In Diesel
In East Sussex we have seen increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of people being unsure of the way to use it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the vehicle.
Well, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?
As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And of course never start up the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.
Any time you get in this position don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the practical expertise and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car East Hoathly
I am not ever overly excited about working weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd only just departed the wife and kids after eating a tasty Sunday roast made for us by the wife, and I was en route to sort out a man because he put the wrong fuel in his new-shape MINI Cooper Countryman. He was only in East Hoathly therefore I was there quickly. As I arrived at the car and started work he told me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my concentration on stuff and didn't perceive I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted any damage by simply starting it?" I said truth be told there should not be any harm and also that I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained immediately for him. It goes without saying that I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and so one more pleased motorist was able to carry on with their trip without any fuss. The gentleman couldn't stop thanking me, and that helps make earning a living on Sundays in East Sussex just that tiny 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:
- 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 VAT 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.
