The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Northumberland we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most definitely be careful not to start the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If you have started the car you would likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

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.
