The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hampshire we have noticed a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And obviously never turn over the car - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Phone us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's sleep! 7:00 am on a gloomy Sunday and I was en route to help an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel dirty red Ford Ranger in Chandlers Ford. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a backwater lane en route to pay a visit to her family. I popped the location in the Satnav and arrived inside an hour or so. I arrived at the car and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "I have been getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel as I had only bought it a few days back when my old one, which I used for in excess of thirty years, inevitably died". I got the job done and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful Hampshire woman!

This really was what we call the night shift. It was about 3:30am and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become pretty dead so far, and Mark and I were loafing around reading through a number of old newspapers. It was an uncommon quiet time in Hampshire. Actually it was in fact that quiet that when the telephone inevitably rang I jumped! The motorist on the opposite end told me: "I have ended my evening shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in a metallic blue Toyota FJ Cruiser in error". We got him to tell us exactly where he was situated and we hit the road, arriving in Chandlers Ford only 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the car. He said many thanks for coming out so rapidly. As we were heading back to the office we found two young women at the side of the highway who seemed like they had a flat. Accordingly we pulled up to help 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.
