The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Richmond upon Thames we have noticed a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of people not understanding the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it asap. And most certainly don't start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

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.
