In due time we had a call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in West Ilsley and put petrol in a diesel khaki green Hyundai HED-5 rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the car!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

In Berkshire we have identified more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad 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 cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And most certainly take care not to start the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you will in all probability have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

In case you end up in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the technical know-how and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
