It was after 6 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and me were resting talking about the golf results, at the ready for the sixth job that day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in St Johns and put the wrong fuel in her diesel elegant BMW 8 Series lease car. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from where we were, we were able to get to the customer quickly.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Surrey we have discovered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And certainly don't switch on the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. If you have started the car you would very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
