The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Kingston upon Thames we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not understanding how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it right away. And of course take care not to turn over the car - not even to move it off the pump. In case you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

If you end up in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the technical expertise and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
