AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in case you’ve poured AdBlue into a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that is made out of a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is definitely damaging to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the AdBlue will undoubtedly be injected into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, leading to devastating and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the event that you find yourself in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the technical expertise and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car North Yorkshire - Petrol in Diesel Car York

I'm not actually overly hot for running on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just left the wife and kids filled with a wonderful Sunday roast made for us by the missus, and I was en route to deal with a guy who filled the incorrect fuel in his sky blue BMW X5. He was only in York and so I arrived on scene almost immediately. Just as I arrived right behind the car and stepped out he explained to me "Praise God! I incredibly had my attention on other considerations and did not perceive I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought on some damage simply by starting it?" I determined that generally there should not be problems and that also I'd get the fuel drained right away. Needless to say I drained the fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and thus another happy client was able to continue their journey without any subsequent bother. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what tends to make working on weekends in North Yorkshire that little bit easier for me personally!

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.
