The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Norfolk we have discovered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not understanding how to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And of course be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

In the event that you get in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the technical competence and experience to get you back on your way promptly 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.
