The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Somerset we are noticing increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it immediately. And definitely never start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Should you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the technical skills and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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 VA 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.
