The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Norfolk we have identified progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because the product is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Call us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Bow Street

We completed a wrong fuel retrieval job outside a beautiful property in Bow Street not so long ago. "I had put petrol in my diesel car and was able to virtually reach home when my car cut out." Our technician went out, despite the fact that it was quite late at night, and did a full fuel drain and purge on the father's BMW M Roadster to everyone's satisfaction.

This really was an unsociable hour to be up. It was roughly sunrise and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become fairly quiet so far, and John and I were loafing reading through a number of old articles. It was a rare restful time in Norfolk. Actually it was indeed that peaceful that the moment the phone inevitably rang it made me start! The person said: "I have only just completed my night shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in a stylish Vauxhall Vivaro". We told him to inform us just where the car was situated and we hit the road, reaching him in Bow Street less than half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the vehicle. He thanked us for arriving so quickly. While we were returning home we spotted two girls on the edge of the highway who looked like they had a flat. Obviously we pulled over to change it, to their elation.

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.
