AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Wiltshire we have encountered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out immediately. And most certainly be careful not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Any time you get in this position don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our experts have the technical know-how and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BA14 Postcode - Trowbridge Misfueling

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Saturday and we were en route to help an older sweetheart after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel son's BMW 3 Series in Trowbridge. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was stranded on a country road on route to visit her godchildren. I plugged the location in the Satnav and got there within 60 minutes. I got to the location and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "I have been getting quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel as I had just purchased it a week ago right after my old one, which I had used for over 30 years, inevitably broke down". I finished the job and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Wiltshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Trowbridge - Wrong Fuel in Car Trowbridge

I had enjoyed a wonderful day cycling on my holiday and was feeling delighted with myself the next day as I headed out to aid a young family holidaying in Trowbridge. They broken down after inserting diesel into their company's Mazda RX-8, and were about half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked while I heard to the girl telling her man off for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this occurs on daily basis in Wiltshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to fret about, however he all the same had his ear bent by his better half. Poor lad. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted good-bye and wondered what my wife would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!

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.
