AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you can do in case you’ve poured AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that’s made out of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is actually devastating to your automobile's fuel system, specifically if you run the engine with AdBlue in the tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue will undoubtedly be dragged into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, triggering devastating and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

Any time you discover yourself to be in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the specialised expertise and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.


Wrong Fuel in Car in PO13 Postcode - Lee-on-the-Solent Misfueling

Just had a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a rainy Tuesday and I was on my way to help an elder sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel red Volvo XC90 in Lee-on-the-Solent. I had been advised she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down along a backwater lane on route to visit her family. I got the location plugged straight into the Satnav and got there inside an hour or so. I reached the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing it she explained, "I am getting quite forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I'd only just got it a few days ago because my old car, which I'd used for in excess of twenty years, inevitably broke down". I got the job completed and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a precious Hampshire woman!

This was certainly an unsociable time to be on the road. It was close to 3:30am and hardly anyone was about. It had become pretty dead so far, and Mark and I were relaxing browsing a number of old articles. It was an unusual quiet time in Hampshire. Actually it was that tranquil that the instant the phone finally rang it made me jump! The person on the other end told me: "I concluded my night shift and foolishly put petrol in my diesel winter grey Vauxhall Bedford in error". I instructed him to inform us where exactly the vehicle was and we hit the road, reaching him in Lee-on-the-Solent less than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the motor. He thanked us for showing up so quickly. While we were returning to the depot we found two ladies at the edge of the street who appeared to have a puncture. So we pulled over to help them change it, 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.
