The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Northumberland we have discovered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking area. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Whenever you find yourself in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the practical competence and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
