The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Lancashire we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers being unsure of the way to use it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.

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

As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely be careful not to crank the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this scenario don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the technical knowledge and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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 VA 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.
