The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In East Sussex we are discovering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As the product is mostly deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And of course do not crank the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BN25 Postcode - Sutton Misfueling

A relatively alarmed customer phoned us from the BP petrol station at East Sussex to advise us that he had put unleaded in his diesel modified Mitsubishi Pajero; he wasn't really quite sure how he'd managed to do it.

Wrong Fuel Assist Sutton - Wrong Fuel in Car Sutton

A couple weeks ago a young man contacted us right after his modified Mitsubishi Precis ground to a halt in the middle of a street in Sutton. He had by accident put unleaded in the diesel vehicle and was only able to get as far as the road before having to halt. It was early in the day and our fuel drainer, who stays not far away, was with him in less than a quarter hour. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your timely response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Sutton - Fuel Rescue Sutton

A customer from Sutton with a full car of children in her diesel grey Volvo S40 had filled her car with £30 of petrol at the Sainsburys filling station. She called us sobbing and really distraught as she had never wrong fueled before and did not know what would happen to her vehicle . We told her that everything should be fine and that she would be back up and running quickly. When we got there she was still upset but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly brightened up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the little ones in the back."

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.
