The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Oxfordshire we are identifying progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not being aware of how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it right away. And absolutely be careful not to start the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix all types 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.
