The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Northumberland we are discovering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And obviously don't switch on the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Call us in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to handle different types of AdBlue liquid 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.
