The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Merton we have found a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not understanding the way to work with it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Phone us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to fix all types of AdBlue contamination.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a sunny Saturday and I was on the way to help an old lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel teal Smart Forfour in Bushey Mead. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and stranded in a country road en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I punched the location into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I reached the car and drained the wrong fuel in the car car. As I was doing it she explained, "Now I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I had just acquired it a few days ago when my previous one, which I'd had for in excess of thirty years, inevitably died". I finished the job and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Merton woman!

This really was what we call an unsociable time to be up. It was around sunrise and hardly anyone was around. It was rather quiet up to now, and Ryan and I were sitting reading a couple of old newspapers. It was a rare tranquil moment in Merton. It was that peaceful that the moment the telephone inevitably rang I leaped with surprise! The voice said: "I've completed my night shift and foolishly poured petrol in my classic Mercedes CLK-Class". I instructed him to let us know where the car was located and we left, ending up in Bushey Mead only an hour later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the vehicle. He thanked us for showing up so quickly. As we were coming back to the depot we found two young ladies at the side of the street who appeared to have a flat. As a result we got out to change it, to their delight.

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.
