The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hampshire we have identified a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers not knowing how to work with it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to shift it into a parking area. If perhaps you have started the car you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the technical skills and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

We reassured her that the vehicle would be alright and that she would be back ready to go in no time at all.

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.
