The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking bay we can reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Herefordshire we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it right away. And of course be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking area. In case you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

If you discover yourself to be in this position do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the practical know-how and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

This was exactly what is called the graveyard shift. It was about 2am and nobody was stirring. It had been quite quiet so far, and Brian and I were relaxing reading a couple of old articles. That was an uncommon tranquil hour in Herefordshire. It was in fact that calm that when the telephone eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The person on the other end stated: "I've just finished my evening shift and foolishly poured petrol in a customised Jaguar XK in error". We told him to let us know where the car was and we headed out, getting to him in Cross Llyde not as much as 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleaned from the car. He said thanks for coming so rapidly. As we were going back to base we saw two young ladies at the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat. Obviously we pulled over to help 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.
