The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Courteenhall (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Northamptonshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your vehicle. They can also deal with the most common problems that might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Northamptonshire we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to people not being aware of how to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out right away. And obviously do not turn over the motor - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Give us a call in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to handle all types of AdBlue fluid 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 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.
