Eventually we got a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Freefolk and put the wrong fuel in a diesel raspberry red Ford Ranger lease car in error. The poor lady was rather irritated apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably happen.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Hampshire we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the car.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And certainly never start the car - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you will probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
