The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Merseyside we have encountered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers not understanding the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And obviously do not start the engine - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

If perhaps you get in this position don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the practical expertise and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or 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.
