The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Northumberland we are identifying progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not understanding the way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously do not turn over the motor - not even to shift it into a parking area. In case you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the specialised competence and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car Northumberland - Petrol in Diesel Car Widdrington Station

I'm certainly not excessively interested in doing work weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had only just come away from home following a lovely dinner prepared for us by the missus, and I was off to assist a guy after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his rugged VW Touareg. He was stationed in Widdrington Station therefore it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. As I arrived at the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Thank God! I foolishly had my mind on other things and didn't ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created harm because of driving it?" I revealed that generally there shouldn't be any kind of harm and also that I would drain the fuel immediately. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and then another satisfied customer had the ability to continue on his trip without the fuss. The gentleman could not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what tends to make earning a living on Sundays in Northumberland just that small bit less painful to me!

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.
