AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Lincolnshire we are identifying more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the car.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And obviously do not turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

If perhaps you get in this position don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the technical skills and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DN17 Postcode - Luddington Misfueling

A rather alarmed driver called us from the Total filling station at Lincolnshire to tell us that he had put petrol into his diesel old Honda CR-Z; he wasn't actually sure how he'd done it. We explained to him it was no concern and before long had our engineer out to him to drain the wrong fuel from his tank. Having removed the wrong fuel, he was almost immediately back behind the wheel. He told us; "I am really flabbergasted I put the wrong fuel in my car.

Wrong Fuel Assist Luddington - Wrong Fuel in Car Luddington

I'd had a wonderful afternoon cycling on my holiday and felt pleased the next day as I set off to assist a new couple who were on holiday in Luddington. They'd pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel in their rust red Vauxhall Bedford, and were approximately half an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the wife telling her man off for being so daft. "Just how could you possibly be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this takes place quite frequently in Lincolnshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Poor guy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved goodbye and pondered on what my wife would tell me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd never hear the end of 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 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.
