The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Hertfordshire we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not understanding how to work with it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously don't crank the car - not even to move it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily handle all kinds of AdBlue liquid 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.
