The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Essex we have discovered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And most definitely don't crank the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In case you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

If you find yourself in this scenario don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the practical expertise and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

I'd been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a backwater lane on the way to visit her godchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I reached the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle.

I completed the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a lovely Essex lady!

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.
