The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Leicestershire we are encountering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by people being unsure of the right way to work with it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most definitely never turn over the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Contact us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix all types of AdBlue contamination.

A youngster who had only just got his licence had misfueled his daughter's Hyundai Scoupe by getting petrol in his diesel vehicle at the petrol station near Osbaston. He said, "This is only the second occasion I have filled up my vehicle since I paid for it and I have no idea of how to proceed." He was anxious as his father had just paid for the car. He came across our company on the internet and so called us instantly, scared about what he ought to do. Our guy on the telephones told him that we would be on scene in forty five minutes and to not do anything to the car while waiting. We carried out the fuel drain on his vehicle and he stated how astonished he was that it was addressed so swiftly and with not much consequence at all.

This was exactly what we call the night shift. It was roughly 3am and nobody was stirring. It had become quite uneventful so far, and me and Paul were relaxing looking at a couple of old newspapers. This was an unusual tranquil moment in Leicestershire. It was so relaxing that when the telephone inevitably rang I jumped! The voice on the opposite end explained: "I've just ended my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in the diesel mate's MINI Countryman". We asked him to tell us where he was and we left, ending up in Osbaston half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the car. He thanked us for arriving so promptly. As we were heading back to the depot we spotted two young women on the side of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we pulled up to help them change it, much to their elation.

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.
