The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around West Sussex we are encountering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly due to motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely do not start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Any time you get in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the specialised competence and experience to have you back on your way quickly 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 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.
