The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In County Durham we are finding progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the car.

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

Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely don't turn over the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the practical knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

He was somewhere in Lowes Barn so it wasn't a long time before I reached him. As I pulled up right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I foolishly had my attention on other considerations and failed to perceive I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I caused some damage because of running it?" I revealed that generally there probably should not be any damage and that also I'd personally drain the wrong fuel at once for him.

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.
