The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Somerset we are encountering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers being unsure of how to use it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it asap. And certainly do not turn over the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Phone us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Somerset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SP8 Postcode - Rodgrove Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night of sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Wednesday and I was en route to assist an older sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel work's Cadillac Eldorado in Rodgrove. I had been informed she had left the petrol station and was broken down on a backwater road en route to see her family. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and got there inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was working she said to me, "I am becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I'd only got it a couple of days back right after my previous car, which I'd owned for in excess of thirty years, eventually died on me". I completed the drain and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a precious Somerset woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Rodgrove

We completed a wrong fuel removal exercise on the drive of a lovely residence in Rodgrove not so long ago. "I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and managed to virtually arrive at home when my car cut out." Our specialist went out, even though it was rather late at night, and performed a full fuel drain and cleanse on the bright yellow Kia Spectra5 .

It truly was the night shift. It was close to sunrise and almost noone was around. It was quite quiet thus far, and Brian and I were relaxing perusing several old magazines. This was an uncommon quiet moment in Somerset. Actually it was in fact that peaceful that the moment the phone finally rang it made me jump! The motorist on the other end told me: "I've just concluded my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in my diesel matte black Mitsubishi Diamante in error". We got him to tell us exactly where he was and we hit the road, getting to him in Rodgrove only half an hour later. The fuel was taken out from the engine. He thanked us for coming so quickly. While we were going back to the depot we saw two girls at the edge of the street who seemed to have a puncture. So we stopped to change it, much to their delight.

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.
