The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over North Yorkshire we have seen an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to turn over the motor - not even to move it off the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

If perhaps you end up in this position do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the specialised competence and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

I had appreciated a perfect afternoon hiking on my holiday and felt pleased the following day as I headed out to aid a young family who were away in Helwith Bridge. They'd pulled over after filling petrol into their Ferarri red BMW M6, and they were close to an hour away. I showed up at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the wife telling off her hubby for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this problem happens all the time in North Yorkshire and that it's actually nothing to get worried about, however he still got an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the chap. Anyway, I removed all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed good bye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

A young lady from Helwith Bridge with a full car of children in her diesel trusty Mazda626 had put £45 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She called us sobbing and extremely upset as she had never wrong fueled and didn't know what might happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that all would be fine and that she would be up and running very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but as our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon enough brightened up and was on her way saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the children on board."

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.
