The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Somerset we have seen an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not knowing the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the vehicle.

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

Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And absolutely do not start the engine - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Any time you find yourself in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the technical competence and experience to get you back on the road swiftly 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.
