The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hampshire we have encountered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously be careful not to start up the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

In case you get in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the technical competence and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
