The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Wandsworth we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not being aware of how to use it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And most definitely do not turn over the car - not even to move it into a parking spot. Assuming you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
