AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Oxfordshire we have noticed an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Should you get in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the technical skills and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Southend - Wrong Fuel in Car Southend

I enjoyed a great day golfing during the weekend and was feeling pleased the following morning as I headed out to aid a young couple on holiday in Southend. They'd pulled over after putting petrol into their winter grey BMW 525, and the car was close to an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and laughed while I listened to the girl telling her man off for being so confused. "How could you possibly manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this problem happens on a regular basis in Oxfordshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he all the same had an earful by his missus. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyway, I drained all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted good-bye and pondered on what my missus would do to me if I made the same error... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

We supply you with fresh fuel at pump rates, and we can normally have your vehicle done and all set to be run within an hour or so. All contaminated fuel is disposed of by us through a registered waste company and recycled. Irrespective of where you are in the the country, Wrong Fuel SoS will be able to get a van to you to undertake a complete fuel drain on your car.

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.
