The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout North Yorkshire we have noticed progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part due to people not being aware of the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the car.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it asap. And absolutely don't crank the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If you did start the car you will likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

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.
