The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

In Cheshire we have noticed more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

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.
