The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Dorset we have noticed progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

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

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Whenever you get in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the specialised skills and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

A young lady from Winterborne Tomson with a full car of kids in her diesel grass green Land Rover Range Rover Evoque had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the BP service station. She contacted us weeping and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and did not know what might happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that everything should be alright and that she would be up and running in no time at all.

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.
