The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Shropshire we have identified more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

As the product is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the car you will likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

Now I'm certainly not too hot for doing the job weekends, and a week ago was no different. I had only just left the family after having a wonderful Sunday roast cooked for me by the missus, and I was en route to deal with a fellow who had put the wrong fuel in his metallic silver Chevrolet Camaro. He was only in Alcaston so it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. As I pulled up behind the vehicle and got out he said to me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my concentration on other stuff and did not realise I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I caused any damage as a result of starting it?" I stated there should not be any damage and also that I'd personally get the fuel drained right away. It goes without saying that I removed the fuel from the car and put in the correct fuel, and then another contented client had the ability to continue on his traveling without any hassle. He did not stop thanking me, and that can make carrying out work on Sundays in Shropshire a tiny 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 VAT 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.
