The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Greater Manchester we have discovered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And of course take care not to start the motor - not even to move it to a parking area. In case you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Call us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Tuesday and I was off to help an elder lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel winter grey Mercedes-Benz E-Class in Kersal. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded in a rural road along the way to visit her godchildren. I got the location punched in the Satnav and got there inside an hour. I reached the destination and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the drain she told me, "I am becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I had only got it a couple of days back right after my previous one, which I'd had for over thirty years, inevitably died on me". I completed the job and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks. What a delightful Greater Manchester lady!

He was somewhere in Kersal and so I was on scene rapidly. Just as I drove up behind the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I had my mind on other considerations and didn't ascertain I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I created any kind of damage simply by driving it?" I revealed truth be told there should not be any harm and also that I would remove the contaminated fuel as soon as possible.

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.
