What you can do if you’ve put AdBlue in a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that is composed of a mix of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%).

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Southbourne

We a few weeks ago had a phone call from a guy who had put the incorrect fuel in his sunflower yellow Land Rover Defender in Southbourne. He had broken down on the road.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Southbourne - Fuel Rescue Southbourne

This really was the graveyard shift. It was roughly 2:30am and noone was stirring. It had been fairly dead until now, and me and Brian were relaxing looking at several old magazines. It was an uncommon restful time in Dorset. Actually it was in fact so peaceful that the instant the phone eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The voice stated: "I just concluded my night shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel expensive Volvo C70". I told him to tell us where exactly the vehicle was and we hit the road, ending up in Southbourne no more than 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor. He said thanks for coming out so fast. While we were returning home we spotted two girls on the side of the road who looked like they suffered a flat. So we pulled over to change it, much to their elation.

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.
