The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Cambridgeshire we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of people being unsure of how to use it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously be careful not to start up the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the practical skills and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Norwoodside - Fuel Rescue Norwoodside

A young lady from Norwoodside with a full car of kids in her diesel compact Audi R8 had put £45 of petrol at the BP service station. She called us crying and extremely distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and did not know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We reassured her that everything should be okay and that she would be on the road in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but as our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the youngsters on board."

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.
