The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we have seen progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists not understanding how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely don't switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Contact us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

The driver of a baby blue Cadillac Fleetwood was sorry that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle when he got as far as the road and it coughed and stopped.

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.
