The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part caused by motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As the product is primarily ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it asap. And definitely never turn over the car - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Contact us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I got to the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "I am getting rather forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel since I'd just acquired it a couple of days ago when my former one, which I had for more than twenty years, eventually stopped working". I got the drain completed and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely Somerset lady!

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.
