It was before 8 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain!

Finally we got the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Buriton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel modified Ford Focus rental car. She was quite troubled apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things sadly happen.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hampshire we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not understanding how to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most definitely take care not to start up the motor - not even to shift it to a parking area. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

If you find yourself in this scenario don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts have the specialised know-how and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Actually it was so calm that when the phone eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The customer stated: "I've only just completed my evening shift and foolishly poured petrol in the diesel dirty red Land Rover by mistake".

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.
