The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we can reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Nottinghamshire we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of people not knowing the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. If perhaps you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

In case you get in this position do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the technical expertise and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.

    • 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.
