The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hillingdon we are identifying a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of motorists being unsure of how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at once. And of course be careful not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

If you get in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the specialised competence and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
