The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Hertfordshire we have identified a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly don't crank the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

In case you discover yourself to be in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no 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.
