The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Hampshire we have identified increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most certainly never start the motor - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In cases where you did start the car you will likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

In case you end up in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the specialised expertise and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

We not long ago received a phone call about a businessman who put the incorrect fuel in his company's Kia Carens in Aldermoor. He had conked out on the street.

I was amazed because of both how quick you were and your charges". Needless to say we showed up promptly and flushed the engine after flushing all of the wrong fuel from the diesel tank.

This was certainly what is called the night shift. It was about 3 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It had been rather dead until now, and me and Ray were sitting about perusing a couple of old magazines. This was an unusual peaceful moment in Hampshire. It was in fact so tranquil that the instant the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The customer explained: "I have ended my evening shift and stupidly poured petrol in the diesel mustard yellow Vauxhall Movano". I instructed him to let us know just where the car was situated and we headed out, ending up in Aldermoor no more than 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor and he thanked us for coming so quickly. As we were coming back to the office we found two ladies at the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat. Obviously we pulled up and helped them change it, to their delight.

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.
