The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Lewisham we are encountering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not understanding how to work with it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the car.

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

As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And most definitely be careful not to start up the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix all types of AdBlue 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.
