The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Cross Lanes (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your car. They will be able to deal with any of the typical problems that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

In Oxfordshire we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the car.

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

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it right away. And obviously be careful not to start the engine - not even to shift it to a parking area. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

In the event that you find yourself in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the practical knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

I'd had a great evening fishing during my off day and felt satisfied with myself the following morning as I headed out to help a new couple who were on vacation in Cross Lanes. They stopped after putting diesel into their husband's Volkswagen Touareg 2, and they were about an hour away. I emerged at their car and laughed while I listened to the lady telling her man off for actually being so daft.

I wanted to clarify that this situation comes to pass constantly in Oxfordshire and that it's truly nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got an earful by his better half. I felt sorry for the chap. At any rate, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the correct fuel.

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.
