The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we are identifying progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most certainly take care not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

In case you end up in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the specialised skills and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
