The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Newham we have encountered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the car.

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

Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it right away. And definitely never start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

He was only in Wilmington so it wasn't long before I got to him. As I drove up at the car and got busy draining he told me "Thank God!

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.
