The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

What you should do in case you have put AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that’s composed of a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be devastating to your car's fuel system, specifically if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be pushed into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, triggering serious and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

Phone us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

I completed the job and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a precious County Durham lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car County Durham - Petrol in Diesel Car Evenwood

I am not necessarily so enthusiastic about carrying out work Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had only just left the wife and kids following a fantastic lunch prepared by the wife, and I was en route to assist a man who had put the wrong petrol in his shiny Seat Exeo. He was stationed in Evenwood thus I arrived on scene before long. Just as I arrived right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he told me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my attention on other considerations and didn't ascertain I have put diesel in my petrol car. Have I created any damage simply by running it?" I determined there should not be any kind of harm and that also I'd personally drain the wrong fuel immediately. As expected I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and put in some suitable fuel, and yet another pleased motorist could carry on with their traveling with no fuss. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is what helps make operating on weekends in County Durham that little better in my opinion!

She contacted us weeping and genuinely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We reassured her that all would be alright and that she would be back ready to go quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but while our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she discovered that help was at hand and her car wasn't wrecked.

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.
