The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Shropshire we have found a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it asap. And most definitely do not turn over the motor - not even to shift it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you would most likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

I turned up at their location and smiled as I listened to the woman telling her spouse off for turning out to be so daft.

Anyways, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never live it down!

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.
  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.
