The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over County Durham we have noticed more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And obviously never switch on the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. In case you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

What a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Saturday and I was off to help an elder sweetheart after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel stylish Vauxhall in Heighington. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and pulled up along a country road on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped the location in the Satnav and got there inside 60 minutes. I got to the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was doing it she explained, "Now I'm getting rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car working with diesel because I'd only just purchased it several days back because my other car, which I had owned for more than thirty years, finally died on me". I got the drain done and she offered me a peppermint and said thank you. What a delightful County Durham woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Heighington - Wrong Fuel in Car Heighington

Last Friday a young man called us right after his metallic yellow Mercedes-Benz M-Class broke down in the middle of a street in Heighington. He had mistakenly put petrol in the diesel vehicle and was only able to drive to the street before being forced to stop. It was yet early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who lives close by, arrived with him in less than 15 minutes. We managed to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the car. "Genuine kudos to you for your prompt response, particularly at 2 a.m., I truly appreciate it."

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

We did a wrong fuel removal exercise near a spectacular property in Heighington not so long ago. "I had put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to nearly reach home when my car broke down." Our technician went out, regardless that it was quite late at night, and completed a fuel drain and cleanse on the clean white BMW Z4 M Roadster to everyone's satisfaction.

This was exactly what we call an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly sunrise and nobody was stirring. It had been pretty dead so far, and Mark and I were loafing about perusing several old newspapers. That was a rare peaceful time in County Durham. It was in fact that relaxing that the instant the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The voice on the opposite end told me: "I've concluded my night shift and foolishly put petrol in the well worn Jaguar XJ Series by mistake". I instructed him to tell us exactly where he was situated and we headed out, reaching him in Heighington only half an hour later. The fuel was removed from the engine and he said thanks a lot for coming out so quickly. While we were returning to the office we noticed two young ladies at the side of the highway who seemed to have a flat. So we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
