The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Northamptonshire we have found a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to use it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most definitely do not start up the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Call us in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Lower Thorpe

I am not necessarily excessively keen on carrying out work weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd only just left the family after a magnificent dinner prepared for me by the missus, and I was en route to sort out a gentleman after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his apple green Jeep Grand Cherokee. He was located in Lower Thorpe hence I was there very quickly. As I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and got busy draining he told me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my attention on stuff and did not ascertain I have put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about any kind of harm simply by starting it?" I revealed that generally there shouldn't be any problems and that also I would get the fuel drained immediately. It goes without saying that I drained the wrong fuel from the car and put in the correct fuel, and thus another happy customer had the ability to carry on with his journey without any subsequent bother. The guy could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what helps make earning a living on Sundays in Northamptonshire that little easier for me personally!

This was what is called an unsociable hour to be up. It was close to 3 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It was quite quiet so far, and Brian and I were loafing reading through a number of old magazines. It was a rare quiet hour in Northamptonshire. It was so tranquil that the moment the telephone rang it made me jump! The voice on the opposite end said: "I have ended my evening shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel sky blue BMW 645 by mistake". We got him to tell us just where he was located and we hit the road, getting to him in Lower Thorpe less than an hour or so later. The fuel was removed from the motor. He said thanks a lot for coming so fast. While we were going back home we saw two young women at the edge of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. Accordingly we pulled over to help them 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.

    • 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.
