The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Greater Manchester we have identified an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to use it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the car.

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

Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most definitely don't turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle all types 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 VA 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.
