The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Essex we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from people being unsure of how to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely never start up the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix every type of AdBlue contamination.

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.
