The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout County Durham we have identified a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to motorists not knowing how to work with it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it asap. And absolutely never switch on the motor - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In case you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

In the event that you find yourself in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the technical skills and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or 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 VA 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.
