The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hertfordshire we have noticed a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers being unsure of the way to use it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And obviously do not start up the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

If you end up in this position do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the practical know-how and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
