The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Lincolnshire we have seen a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

This was most definitely the night shift. It was close to 2:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was around. It had been rather quiet up to now, and Ryan and I were loafing around perusing some old newspapers. This was a rare calm time in Lincolnshire. It was in fact so calm that the moment the telephone ultimately rang it made me start! The person on the opposite end stated: "I've only just concluded my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in my matte black Mitsubishi Lancer by mistake". We got him to inform us exactly where he was situated and we set off, reaching him in Church Town under an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he said thank you for getting there so quickly.

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 VA 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.
