She was very affected by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!"

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do in case you have put AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that is made out of a blend of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It tends to be disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you started the car with AdBlue in the fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the AdBlue will be pushed into the fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

This was certainly an unsociable hour to be awake. It was about 2 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It was fairly uneventful thus far, and me and Brian were sitting about perusing a couple of old newspapers. It was a rare tranquil moment in Herefordshire. Actually it was that tranquil that the instant the phone ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The voice on the opposite end stated: "I have only just completed my overnight shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in a wife's Chevrolet Cavalier in error". I told him to tell us exactly where the vehicle was situated and we hit the road, reaching him in Burrington less than half an hour later. The fuel was cleared from the car and he said thank you for arriving so promptly. While we were heading back to base we found two women at the side of the highway who seemed to have a puncture. So we pulled over to change it, to their delight.

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.
