AdBlue In Diesel

All over Warwickshire we are encountering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the car.

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

As the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it right away. And definitely do not start the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Warwick - Wrong Fuel in Car Warwick

I had appreciated a great afternoon cycling on my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful the next working day as I set off to help a new family who were away in Warwick. They'd broken down after putting the wrong fuel in their teal BMW 650, and the car was approximately half an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for actually being so foolish. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place continuously in Warwickshire and that it's actually nothing to get worried about, and yet he still had an ear bashing by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. At any rate, I removed all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I waved good-bye and considered what her indoors would tell me if I did the same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Warwick

I am certainly not overly interested in working on Sundays, and last week was no different. I had only just departed the wife and kids after eating a lovely Sunday roast prepared for me by the better half, and I was en route to sort out a fellow after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his deep grey Honda CR-Z. He was only in Warwick thus it wasn't long before I got to him. Just as I drove up right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my mind on other stuff and didn't realise I have put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought about problems simply by driving it?" I explained that truth be told there shouldn't be harm and that I would personally remove the wrong fuel quickly for him. As expected I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with the correct fuel, and so one more happy customer was able to continue on his traveling without any hassle. The gentleman did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is what helps make earning a living on Sundays in Warwickshire that tiny bit less painful in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Warwick - Fuel Rescue Warwick

A young lady from Warwick with her youngsters in her diesel aunt's Honda Civic had filled her vehicle with £50 of petrol at the BP filling station. She called us crying and genuinely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what would happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that the car should be alright and that she would be back ready to go in no time at all. When we arrived she was visible upset but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she recognised that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the children in the back."

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.
