AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Shropshire we are identifying increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from people being unsure of the way to to make use of (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

If perhaps you find yourself in this position don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the specialised knowledge and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SY7 Postcode - Pedlars Rest Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! 7:00 am on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday and we were off to assist an elder lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel grass green Mercedes-Benz E-Class in Pedlars Rest. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and pulled up along a country road along the way to see her grandchildren. I plugged the location straight into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I reached the car and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing it she told me, "I'm getting relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel because I'd only just acquired it a short while ago because my previous car, which I had had for over 30 years, eventually stopped working". I finished the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant Shropshire woman!

Consequently, in the event that you have filled your petrol automobile with the wrong fuel, or put petrol in your diesel motor vehicle just about anywhere in Shropshire, call us immediately. Our experienced technicians are available for you.

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.
