AdBlue In Your Diesel
In Surrey we have found an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the automobile.
Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?
Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And certainly be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.
Contact us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct every type of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Dorking
Now I'm not necessarily overly interested in carrying out work on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had only just come away from home following a fantastic lunch cooked by the missus, and I was en route to help a fellow after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his old BMW 525. He was located in Dorking thus I was there almost immediately. As I arrived right behind the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my concentration on other things and did not grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted any kind of damage by driving it?" I stated that generally there should not be any kind of harm and that I would get the contaminated fuel drained right away for him. Obviously I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and one more pleased motorist could continue their traveling without hassle. The man couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this makes operating on Sundays in Surrey a little bit easier for me personally!

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
