The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Gloucestershire we have identified an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And most certainly take care not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In case you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Give us a call if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle all kinds 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.
