AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do in the event that you may have put AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution made from a blend of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is definitely disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, specifically any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be pulled into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, leading to disastrous and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

Give us a call in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily handle all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Highgate

I am not ever so keen on carrying out work weekends, and a week ago was no different. I'd only just departed the wife and kids after having a tasty lunch cooked for me by the missus, and I was on the way to help a gentleman after he filled the incorrect petrol in his well worn VW Jetta III. He was somewhere in Highgate and so it wouldn't be long before I reached him. As I pulled up behind the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my concentration on stuff and failed to ascertain I had put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted any problems by simply driving it?" I stated that generally there probably should not be any problems and that also I would personally remove the fuel right away. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some correct fuel, and yet another satisfied client could carry on with his journey without the need for bother. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is what helps make operating on weekends in East Sussex that little easier in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Highgate - Fuel Rescue Highgate

A gentleman who had unfortunately put the wrong fuel in his diesel aunt's Bentley Continental contacted us for help at the Murco filling station in Highgate. He had decided to top up before proceeding on to the nearby caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded rather than diesel which probably wasn't a great way to begin to our vacation." It was no trouble at all for our fuel drainer to go out and perform the fuel drain. We hope they had a good holiday break.

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.
