The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

In Norfolk we have encountered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the vehicle.

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

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly don't start up the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Contact us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle different types of AdBlue 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.
