The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Richmond upon Thames we have seen an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And most certainly be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

A customer from Hampton with a full car of kids in her diesel wife's Audi Q5 had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the Texaco station. She called us weeping and extremely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle because of it. We told her that the vehicle should be ok and that she would be back up and running in no time at all. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the little ones on board."

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.
