The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Hampshire we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of people not being aware of how to to make use of (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained asap. And most certainly never turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In case you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Should you get in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our experts have the technical skills and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

This was what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to sunrise and noone was stirring. It was rather quiet until now, and me and Paul were relaxing perusing a number of old magazines. That was a rare peaceful moment in Hampshire. Actually it was in fact so peaceful that the instant my mobile rang it made me start! The motorist told me: "I finished my night shift and incredibly poured petrol in a diesel expensive Audi A8". We got him to let us know where the car was and we left, getting to him in Cheriton under 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the engine. He said thanks for arriving so promptly. While we were heading back to base we found two girls at the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat. So we pulled over and helped them change it, much 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.
