The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Lincolnshire we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to people not being aware of the right way to work with it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And absolutely don't switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would probably have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

If you end up in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the technical knowledge and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
