The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Oxfordshire we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people not knowing how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And certainly don't crank the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would probably need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid 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 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.
