The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Shropshire we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by people not understanding how to work with it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly never crank the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle all types of AdBlue 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.
