The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Lancashire we have encountered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And obviously don't switch on the engine - not even to move it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Any time you get in this position do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the technical knowledge and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

This was exactly what is called the graveyard shift. It was about dawn and noone was around. It was quite uneventful so far, and me and Ryan were relaxing looking through several old papers. This was a rare peaceful moment in Lancashire. It was in fact so relaxing that the moment the phone rang it made me jump! The person on the other end stated: "I've just concluded my evening shift and incredibly put petrol in the diesel friend's Kia Soul in error". I got him to inform us where he was and we left, ending up in Mellor under an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for showing up so rapidly. While we were going back to the office we spotted two ladies on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a puncture.

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.
