The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Waltham Forest we are identifying increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously take care not to switch on the car - not even to move it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

If perhaps you find yourself in this scenario don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the technical skills and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or 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 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.
