The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Herefordshire we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers being unsure of how to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not turn over the motor - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
