The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Essex we have found progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not being totally sure how to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And absolutely don't crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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

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.
