AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed in the event that you have put AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that is made from a mix of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be damaging to your automobile's fuel system, particularly if you started the car with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started the AdBlue will likely be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, leading to disastrous and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GL5 Postcode - Houndscroft Misfueling

What a quality night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a bright Sunday and we were en route to help an elder lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel bright yellow Nissan Cube in Houndscroft. I'd been advised she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was pulled up on a country lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged her location into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour or so. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing the drain she said, "I'm getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only just got it a week ago because my previous one, which I'd owned for over twenty five years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a precious Gloucestershire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Houndscroft - Wrong Fuel in Car Houndscroft

I'd had a terrific evening fishing on my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the following working day as I set off to assist a young family on vacation in Houndscroft. They had conked out after filling petrol in their rugged Porsche Boxster, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the woman telling her partner off for being so silly. "Exactly how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this happens continuously in Gloucestershire and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, however he all the same got an ear bashing by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyway, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved goodbye and wondered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
