The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Greater Manchester we have encountered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained asap. And most certainly do not switch on the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

If perhaps you find yourself in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the specialised knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

The engine was coughing and then it stopped when she came to the the front of her office. We soon started on the fuel drain after she called and had it resolved inside one hour while she was in the office. She came out later on and thanked us saying, "I'm very glad you sorted my car."

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.
