AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Hampshire we are noticing an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And obviously take care not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Whenever you get in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the practical know-how and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Alton

I'm not ever so inclined to doing work weekends, and a while back was no different. I had just left the wife and kids after a tasty Sunday roast made for me by the better half, and I was on my way to help a man after he put the wrong fuel in his canary yellow Mitsubishi Eclipse. He was stationed in Alton hence it wouldn't be long before I reached him. As I drove up behind the car and started work he explained to me "Thank God! I stupidly had my concentration on something else and did not perceive I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about harm by simply running it?" I stated that generally there should not be harm and also I would get the wrong fuel drained as soon as possible. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled it with the correct fuel, and thus one more satisfied motorist could continue his ride without the fuss. He did not stop thanking me, and this is actually what can make working on Sundays in Hampshire a little easier in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Alton - Fuel Rescue Alton

This was exactly an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to 3:30 in the morning and noone was about. It had been rather quiet so far, and me and Brian were sitting about browsing several old newspapers. That was an unusual tranquil moment in Hampshire. Actually it was in fact that tranquil that the moment the phone ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The voice told me: "I completed my evening shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the buff Fiat Punto". We instructed him to inform us where exactly the car was and we headed out, getting to him in Alton 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the car and he thanked us profusely for arriving so fast. As we were going back home we spotted two young ladies at the edge of the street who seemed like they had a flat. As a result we pulled up 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 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.
