The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over North Yorkshire we have seen a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the automobile.

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

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at once. And most certainly do not start the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

I'd had a perfect evening golfing during my holiday and felt delighted the following day as I set off to help a young couple who were holidaying in Ravenseat. They pulled over after filling petrol in their well worn Lexus LFA, and the car was around an hour away. I arrived at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the girl telling her man off for actually being so daft. "Just how could you conceivably manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass all the time in North Yorkshire and that it's actually nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his missus. Poor boy. Anyway, I extracted all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted hasta la vista and thought about what my wife would say to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!

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.
