The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Essex we have found more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course do not switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid 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.
