The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hampshire we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And definitely take care not to start the motor - not even to move it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you may likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Any time you get in this predicament don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the specialised competence and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
