The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over East Riding of Yorkshire we are encountering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely do not start up the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking area. In case you have started the car you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

If perhaps you end up in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts have the technical knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or 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.
