AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Oxfordshire we have identified a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not being aware of the way to use it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

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

As the product is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most certainly take care not to turn over the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Wrong Fuel in Car in RG8 Postcode - Cold Harbour Misfueling

Just had a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a warm Saturday and we were en route to help an older sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel metallic red Toyota Corolla in Cold Harbour. I had been informed she drove away from the filling station and stranded along a rural road on the way to visit her grandchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the Satnav and arrived inside an hour or so. I arrived at the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "Now I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel because I had only bought it a week ago right after my former one, which I'd used for about 30 years, inevitably died". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a precious Oxfordshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Cold Harbour - Wrong Fuel in Car Cold Harbour

I had a wonderful day golfing during my holiday and was feeling delighted the following morning as I set off to help a young couple vacationing in Cold Harbour. They had stopped after inserting petrol into their baby blue Vauxhall Corsa, and they were roughly half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smiled as I heard to the girl telling her husband off for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you possibly manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this situation goes on quite frequently in Oxfordshire and that it is nothing to be concerned about, even so he yet still got his ear bent. Poor lad. At any rate, I removed all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed farewell and wondered what my missus would do to me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

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.
