The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Norfolk we have seen a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely do not start up the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
