The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout County Durham we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not knowing the way to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And definitely never start the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to fix all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DL13 Postcode - West Butsfield Misfueling

Just had a quality night of sleep! It was 7:30 on a sunny Tuesday and I was off to help an older sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel deep grey VW Scirocco in West Butsfield. She told us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a rural lane on route to visit her grandchildren. I got her location punched straight into the Satnav and arrived inside an hour. I reached the car and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she told me, "I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel as I'd only just got it a short while ago when my previous car, which I had owned for about twenty five years, eventually stopped working". I completed the drain and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely County Durham lady!

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.
