The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Suffolk we have identified more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of people not being aware of the way to to make use of (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

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.
