The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And certainly take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

This was exactly what we call the night shift. It was around sunrise and almost noone was stirring. It had been pretty uneventful thus far, and me and Ray were loafing about looking through a number of old magazines. It was an unusual restful time in Gloucestershire. Actually it was in fact that peaceful that when my mobile eventually rang it made me jump! The person on the phone stated: "I only just completed my night shift and incredibly put petrol in the diesel trusty Smart Forfour". I asked him to inform us where the vehicle was situated and we headed out, getting to him in Greenway less than an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the motor. He said thanks for getting there so rapidly. As we were coming back to base we found two girls on the edge of the road who looked like they suffered a flat. So we pulled over to change it, much to their delight.

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.
