The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Derbyshire we are finding more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the car.

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

As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it asap. And certainly be careful not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

If you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the practical skills and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no 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 VAT 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.
