The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Lancashire we are encountering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people not being aware of how to use it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely never turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Should you find yourself in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the practical competence and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

This was most definitely an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around 3am and nobody was stirring. It was quite quiet so far, and me and Ryan were sitting perusing several old newspapers. This was a rare tranquil moment in Lancashire. It was in fact that peaceful that when the telephone inevitably rang I jumped with surprise! The voice stated: "I have concluded my evening shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in my diesel mate's Skoda in error". We asked him to inform us where exactly he was situated and we headed out, reaching him in Catforth under an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the motor. He said thanks a lot for coming out so quickly. As we were going back home we saw two women at the edge of the highway who seemed to have a flat. So we stopped and helped them change it, 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 VA 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.
