It was just after 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were seated there going over the rugby, ready for the sixth job that day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Glororum and put petrol in her diesel friend's BMW lease car by mistake. The poor thing was rather affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Northumberland we are discovering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct 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 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.
