AdBlue and Water Contamination

You should know that wrong fuel is not the only issue which can make your engine run abnormally. The existence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your car or truck produce lots of smoke, run irregularly, stop or show signs of no power. But you must also note that water can cause other serious damages like damage to fuel filters.

AdBlue if added wrongly it can also display the same signs in your car. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your vehicle to be more eco-friendly. However, if this is added straight away to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more harm than good. That's exactly why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. If added manually, this should be done by someone who knows the proper place to put it.

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.

It was about 7 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting there talking over the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the sixth call to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station and filled petrol in her diesel Farningham rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather irritated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure area and, as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to reach her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain done well in my mind!
