It was before 8 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless day, it had not ceased pouring! James and I were sitting talking about the weekend's tennis, ready for the seventh fuel drain to come in. Before long we got the call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Knuston and filled petrol in a diesel elegant Mazda MX-5 hire car. The unfortunate lady was very agitated it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe spot and, as it was just a few miles off from where we were, we could reach the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and much less concerned. One more fuel drain in Northamptonshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Northamptonshire we have encountered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of people not being aware of how to work with it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the automobile.

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

Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And most definitely do not turn over the car - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may in all probability need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be 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.
