The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Somerset we have encountered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained asap. And of course do not turn over the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct every type 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 VA 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.
