The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In County Durham we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people being unsure of the way to work with it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And most definitely never turn over the engine - not even to shift it to a parking area. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

In case you end up in this position don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the practical skills and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DH1 Postcode - Gilesgate Misfueling

What a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a bright Sunday and I was on the way to help an old sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel metallic red Chevrolet Caprice in Gilesgate. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded along a country lane along the way to visit her grandchildren. I plugged the location into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour. I arrived at the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said, "Now I'm getting relatively forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel because I had just got it a few days back because my old car, which I had for about twenty years, inevitably died on me". I completed the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a pleasant County Durham lady!

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

I am not ever too keen on running Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd just departed the wife and kids after a fantastic dinner prepared for us by the missus, and I was off to deal with a gentleman because he filled the wrong petrol in his metallic yellow VW Touareg 2. He was somewhere in Gilesgate thus I was on scene quickly. Just as I drove up at the rear of the car and got out he told me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my attention on other things and did not realise I have put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I caused some harm through running it?" I determined that there probably should not be any damage and also I'd get the fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. Naturally I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and one more pleased motorist could carry on with their journey without any subsequent bother. The guy could not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what helps make operating on Sundays in County Durham that little easier to me!

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.
