The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Shropshire we have encountered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it's actually 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 putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Call us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel.

This really was what we call an unsociable time to be up. It was roughly 3am and nobody was around. It had become rather quiet until now, and me and Ray were relaxing perusing several old magazines. It was an uncommon restful hour in Shropshire. Actually it was indeed that peaceful that when the telephone ultimately rang it made me jump! The motorist stated: "I've only just completed my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the diesel stylish Fiat". We told him to inform us where exactly he was and we hit the road, ending up in Upton Magna half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned from the engine and he said many thanks for coming so rapidly.

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:

    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
