The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Warwickshire we have identified increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by drivers not knowing how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the automobile.

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

Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you did start the car you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Call us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of every type of AdBlue liquid 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 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.
