The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Somerset we have seen more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As the product is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it right away. And most certainly don't start up the motor - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to attend to every type of AdBlue 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.
