The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around East Sussex we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not knowing the way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And of course don't switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking place. If perhaps you have started the car you would most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the practical competence and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Brightling

I'm not actually overly enthusiastic about carrying out work on Sundays, and a while back was the same. I had only just come away from home following a superb Sunday roast prepared for me by the wife, and I was en route to assist a fellow after he put the wrong petrol in his raspberry red Toyota Sequoia. He was only in Brightling hence I was on scene almost immediately. Just as I arrived behind the car and got out he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my thoughts on stuff and didn't perceive I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused some problems because of driving it?" I said that there shouldn't be any harm and also I would personally get the wrong fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. As expected I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled it with some suitable fuel, and one more contented client could continue his ride without any subsequent bother. The man could not stop thanking me, and that makes operating on Sundays in East Sussex just that small bit easier to me!

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.
