The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially due to people not being totally sure how to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And certainly don't switch on the engine - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GL4 Postcode - Stockwell Misfueling

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and I was en route to assist an old woman who had put petrol in her diesel rust red Mercedes SL-Class in Stockwell. I had been informed she had left the filling station and pulled up on a country road en route to pay a visit to her family. I punched her location into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour. I arrived at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel since I had only just bought it a short while ago when my previous car, which I had owned for about twenty five years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a delightful Gloucestershire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Stockwell - Wrong Fuel in Car Stockwell

I enjoyed a terrific afternoon golfing on the weekend and felt satisfied the following day as I set out to help a new couple who were holidaying in Stockwell. They stopped after filling diesel into their luxury Mercedes SLK-Class, and were about an hour away. I arrived at their car and smirked to myself while I listened to the gal telling her man off for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you actually manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this situation happens on daily basis in Gloucestershire and that it's truly nothing to be concerned about, and yet he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his missus. Poor guy. Anyways, I extracted all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted good-bye and considered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!

A customer from Stockwell with her youngsters in her diesel dark green Mercedes Sprinter 2500 had put £42 of petrol at the Texaco service station. She called us weeping and very upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that all would be ok and that she would be back up and running quickly. When we got there she was still upset but as our technician got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She soon brightened up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the little ones on board."

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.
