The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Dorset we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by people not being aware of how to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As the product is mainly ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out right away. And definitely be careful not to start the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Give us a call if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

I had a perfect afternoon hiking on my holiday and felt cheerful the next morning as I set out to help a young family who were on vacation in Southwell. They conked out after putting petrol into their luxury Kia Sportage, and were approximately an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and laughed while I listened to the girl telling her spouse off for being so confused. "How could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing comes to pass regularly in Dorset and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, but he yet still got an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the boy. At any rate, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed goodbye and considered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

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.
