The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around West Sussex we have encountered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists not understanding how to use it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously be careful not to crank the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you have started the car you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the specialised expertise and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
