AdBlue In your Fuel

In Croydon we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not knowing the way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the automobile.

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

Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And of course be careful not to crank the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. If you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

If perhaps you end up in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the practical expertise and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CR4 Postcode - Mitcham Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a warm Sunday and I was on the way to assist an old woman after she put petrol in her diesel customised Renault Megane in Mitcham. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded along a backwater road on route to pay a visit to her family. I plugged her location straight into the Satnav and arrived within an hour. I turned up at the location and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was working she explained, "Now I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd just acquired it a few days back right after my former one, which I had had for over twenty five years, inevitably broke down". I finished the job and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a delightful Croydon lady!

A gentleman called us from his house on a road in Mitcham. He said, "My car (a dark blue Audi R8) is not starting and is generating very bad noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would fix the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, carried out the drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He said that he would be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.

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.
