The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Leicestershire we have noticed increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially due to people not being totally sure how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it asap. And definitely be careful not to start up the car - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

If you get in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the practical skills 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.
