Finally we got the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Cinderford and filled petrol in her diesel mate's Seat Ibiza lease car. She was rather distressed it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the car!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not knowing the right way to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely do not switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Contact us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle every type of AdBlue liquid 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.
