The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Essex we have discovered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers being unsure of how to use it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And absolutely take care not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In cases where you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Call us in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct every type of AdBlue contamination.

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.
