The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Derbyshire we are noticing increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially a result of people not knowing the way to use it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely never start up the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

If you find yourself in this situation don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the specialised knowledge and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Sutton Scarsdale

Now I'm certainly not that interested in carrying out work on weekends, and a while back was the same. I'd only just departed the wife and kids filled with a fantastic Sunday roast cooked for me by the missus, and I was en route to help a fellow who put the wrong petrol in his burgundy red VW Jetta. He was only in Sutton Scarsdale therefore I arrived with him very quickly. Just as I arrived behind the car and got busy draining he told me "Praise God! I had my mind on stuff and failed to grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I created any problems through running it?" I said that generally there probably should not be any damage and that I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained as quickly as possible. Naturally I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled up with some suitable fuel, and another happy motorist was able to continue on his ride with no bother. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what tends to make earning a living on Sundays in Derbyshire a little less painful in my opinion!

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.
