The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hertfordshire we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it right away. And certainly don't start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

In the event that you end up in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the specialised skills and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly 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.
