The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Richmond upon Thames we are finding an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people being unsure of the right way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the car.

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

Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained asap. And most certainly take care not to start up the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Any time you find yourself in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the specialised skills and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Higham Hill

I'm not actually that hot for running on weekends, and last week was the same. I had only just left the wife and kids filled with a wonderful lunch prepared for us by the wife, and I was on my way to assist a man who had filled the wrong petrol in his spotless VW Touareg 2. He was situated in Higham Hill therefore it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. As I drove up right behind the car and stepped out he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I foolishly had my concentration on other things and failed to perceive I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I created any kind of harm by simply starting it?" I explained there should not be any kind of problems and that I'd personally drain the wrong fuel as quickly as possible. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and then another pleased customer could continue on his ride without any subsequent hassle. The gentleman did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is what tends to make working on weekends in Richmond upon Thames a tiny bit better for me personally!

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.
