The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

In Lancashire we have encountered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers being unsure of how to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to crank the motor - not even to move it to a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
