The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Herefordshire we have discovered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not being aware of how to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to start the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

If you end up in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the practical competence and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
