We have successfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Derbyshire we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not understanding the way to use it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it right away. And most definitely never turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In cases where you did start the car you will probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

In case you end up in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the specialised expertise and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

This was exactly an unsociable time to be up. It was around sunrise and almost noone was about. It had been fairly uneventful until now, and me and Ryan were sitting around perusing a number of old articles. It was an unusual calm moment in Derbyshire. It was indeed that peaceful that when the phone eventually rang it made me jump! The person said: "I only just ended my evening shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in the diesel yellow Jeep Comanche by mistake". We got him to inform us where he was and we left, arriving in Over Burrows an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the engine and he thanked us for arriving so promptly.

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.
