How to handle it in case you’ve poured AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical made from a mix of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%).

Whenever the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will be injected into the fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, causing disastrous and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

Wrong Fuel in Car in HR1 Postcode - Veldo Misfueling

What a great night of sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Tuesday and we were off to help an old lady after she put petrol in her diesel son's Isuzu i-Series in Veldo.

I popped the location in the TomTom and got there inside an hour. I reached the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car.

They broken down after adding diesel in their deep grey Peugeot Partner, and were close to half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and smirked while I listened to the gal telling her husband off for being so confused. "How could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing happens constantly in Herefordshire and that it is nothing to stress about, nonetheless he all the same got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel.

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.
