AdBlue In Diesel
All over Northumberland we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to people not understanding how to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.
So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?
Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at once. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.
In the event that you get in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the practical competence and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in NE65 Postcode - Burradon Misfueling
What a great night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and we were off to assist an elder lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel brand new BMW 750 in Burradon. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was broken down on a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location plugged in the TomTom and got there within an hour. I got to the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I had only just purchased it a few days back because my other one, which I'd used for more than twenty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she offered me a toffee and said thanks. What a precious Northumberland lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Northumberland - Petrol in Diesel Car Burradon
Now I am certainly not so keen on doing work Sundays, and a while back was the same. I had only just left the family after a wonderful roast cooked by the wife, and I was on the way to help a gentleman after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his bright yellow Toyota Sequoia. He was somewhere in Burradon therefore I was there before long. As I pulled up right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he told me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my concentration on something else and didn't perceive I've put diesel in my petrol car. Have I caused any kind of harm simply by running it?" I explained truth be told there probably should not be any kind of harm and that also I'd personally get the fuel drained as quickly as possible. It goes without saying that I removed the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and thus yet another contented motorist was able to continue his ride without the difficulty. The gentleman couldn't stop thanking me, and this is what can make carrying out work on Sundays in Northumberland just that small bit better in my opinion!

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
