AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it in the event that you may have poured AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that is made of a blend of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It can be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with AdBlue in the diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the AdBlue will be pushed into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, leading to disastrous and costly problems to your automobile's fuel system.

I had a terrific evening fishing during the weekend and felt pleased with myself the following day as I set off to aid a young couple who were vacationing in Thatto Heath. They had stopped after filling diesel into their super Chevrolet Camaro, and were roughly an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed as I listened to the girl chastising her husband for being so confused. "Precisely how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this occurs everyday in Merseyside and that it's nothing to worry about, even so he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Unfortunate boy. In any case, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted hasta la vista and pondered on what my wife would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Thatto Heath

We fairly recently received a call from a motorist who had put the wrong fuel in his mint condition Cadillac CTS-V in Thatto Heath. He had conked out on the street. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't recognise the predicament up until the time I broke down. You took the wrong fuel from my car and had it working . I was impressed because of both your call-out time and your rates". Needless to say we arrived on the scene promptly and flushed the engine after draining the petrol from the diesel tank.

This was the graveyard shift. It was close to dawn and noone was stirring. It had been quite uneventful up to now, and me and Ray were relaxing reading through several old newspapers. That was a rare calm moment in Merseyside. Actually it was so quiet that when the telephone eventually rang I leaped! The voice on the opposite end said: "I only just ended my evening shift and foolishly poured petrol in the faithful Volkswagen Jetta III in error". I instructed him to tell us exactly where the car was and we set off, ending up in Thatto Heath an hour later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the vehicle and he thanked us for coming so rapidly. While we were going back to the depot we found two ladies at the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to change it, much to their delight.

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 VAT 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.
