The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it if you may have put AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that is made of a mix of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is certainly damaging to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the AdBlue will undoubtedly be injected into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, bringing about devastating and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Call us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

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.
