The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Bacton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and fill your car. They can also fix the typical issues that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Herefordshire we have noticed more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from people not being aware of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely be careful not to turn over the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

In the event that you find yourself in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the practical competence and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

I'd had a wonderful evening golfing during my holiday and was feeling cheerful the next morning as I set out to help a young family who were on holiday in Bacton. They'd pulled over after putting petrol in their mint green Peugeot 207, and the car was about half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the wife telling off her spouse for being so confused. "How could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this takes place continuously in Herefordshire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he yet still got his ear bent by his missus. Poor boy. At any rate, I drained out all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would do to me in the event that I made the same error... I'd never live it down!

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.

    • 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.
