The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

All around East Sussex we have discovered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at once. And most certainly do not switch on the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Any time you end up in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the practical competence and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BN1 Postcode - Brighton Misfueling

What a quality night of sleep! 7:00 am on a gloomy Bank Holiday Monday and I was en route to help an old woman who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel deep grey Peugeot Boxer in Brighton. She informed us that she had left the filling station and was stranded on a country lane en route to visit her godchildren. I punched her location straight into the TomTom and was with her inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been getting rather absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car using diesel because I'd just got it several days back when my other one, which I had had for about twenty years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she presented me a peppermint and said thank you. What a precious East Sussex woman!

A driver who had sadly put unleaded in his diesel dark blue Fiat Panda called us for assistance at the Shell petrol filling station in Brighton.

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.
