The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Wiltshire we have identified increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not understanding how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking place. In case you did start the car you may probably need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

If you end up in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the technical expertise and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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:

    • 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.
