The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Buckinghamshire we have found a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not understanding how to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the vehicle.

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

Since the product is primarily deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it asap. And absolutely never switch on the car - not even to move it into a parking area. If perhaps you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

If you find yourself in this scenario don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the technical competence and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

A relatively alarmed motorist called us from the Esso petrol station at Buckinghamshire to advise us that he had put unleaded in to his diesel Ferarri red VW Tiguan; he wasn't quite certain how he'd managed to do it.

Having taken out the incorrect fuel, he was almost immediately back on the road. He told us; "I can't believe I filled my car with the wrong fuel.

A motorist had broken down near a road in Weedon. His metallic silver Dodge Ram motor had stopped functioning and he had no idea what was wrong till he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten virtually no sleep the day before and that could have been the reason.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Weedon

We a few weeks ago had a call about a driver who had put the incorrect fuel in his mate's Porsche 911 in Weedon. He had conked out on the road. "After inserting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't realize the dilemma until it broke down. You took the wrong fuel from my car and got it working once again. I was amazed because of both your speed and your pricing". Of course we were on-scene punctually and flushed the engine after flushing the unleaded from the diesel tank. The motorist was delighted by the time we were done and he went away cheerful.

This was certainly what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was roughly dawn and almost noone was stirring. It was fairly quiet until now, and me and Ryan were relaxing reading some old newspapers. It was an unusual restful moment in Buckinghamshire. It was indeed so quiet that when the phone finally rang I leaped with surprise! The person on the opposite end stated: "I have only just concluded my overnight shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel mint condition Vauxhall Insignia". I asked him to inform us where exactly he was situated and we left, ending up in Weedon no more than an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the vehicle and he said thank you for getting there so rapidly. While we were going back home we found two women at the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat. So we stopped and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
