The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around County Durham we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people being unsure of the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the car.

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

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most definitely do not switch on the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you may likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to 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 VA 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.
