The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Northamptonshire we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to people not knowing how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the automobile.

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

Because the product is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly do not crank the car - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. If you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Phone us in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

What a good night of sleep! 7:30 am on a bright Monday and I was en route to assist an older sweetheart who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel light green Mitsubishi 3000GT in Shotley. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down on a rural road en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I plugged her location straight into the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour. I got to the car and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing the work she explained, "Now I'm getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel because I'd just purchased it a few days back when my previous car, which I had for more than thirty years, inevitably died on me". I completed the drain and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a precious Northamptonshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Shotley

A teenager who had recently got his licence had misfueled his beautiful Audi 4000CS Quattro by putting unleaded in his diesel at the filling station near Shotley. He said, "This is only the second time I have filled up my vehicle from the time when I paid for it and I have no clue of how to handle it." He was anxious since his father had only just paid for the car. He came across us on the net and so called us without delay, frightened about what he needed to do. Our individual on the telephones told him that we would be there within forty five minutes and to not do anything to his vehicle while he waited. We carried out the fuel drain on his car and he mentioned how astonished he was that it was taken care of so quickly and with not much consequence whatsoever.

This really was an unsociable hour to be up. It was around dawn and nobody was stirring. It was fairly uneventful thus far, and me and John were sitting about looking through several old magazines. This was a rare restful hour in Northamptonshire. It was indeed so quiet that the moment my mobile inevitably rang I jumped! The voice on the opposite end explained: "I have completed my night shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel dark blue Vauxhall Meriva". I told him to let us know where the car was and we headed out, ending up in Shotley no more than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the engine and he said many thanks for coming out so promptly. As we were returning to base we found two women at the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a flat. As a result we got out to help them change it, much 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 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.
