The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Somerset we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the vehicle.

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

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to move it into a parking spot. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TA13 Postcode - West Lambrook Misfueling

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a gloomy Tuesday and I was on the way to assist an old lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel Ferarri red Mitsubishi Endeavor in West Lambrook. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up in a backwater road on the way to visit her godchildren. I plugged the location into the TomTom and got there inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the destination and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing it she said, "I'm getting quite forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel as I had just bought it a short while back right after my previous car, which I'd owned for more than 30 years, finally died". I finished the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a delightful Somerset woman!

And so, in the event that you have filled your petrol vehicle with diesel, or put the wrong fuel in your diesel car just about anywhere in Somerset, speak to us right now. Our qualified mechanics are ready and waiting for your call.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car West Lambrook

It's no fun grinding to a halt in a car contaminated with the improper fuel halfway down the road. Recently a customer who filled her car with the incorrect fuel (company's Volvo XC70) in West Lambrook endured exactly this nightmare: "Obviously I foolishly filled my petrol car with diesel a few days ago. I was so bothered about it that I was actually in tears. Fortunately I shouldn't have concerned myself seeing that you were amazing in dealing with the problem."

A woman living in West Lambrook contacted us shortly after she managed to get her wrong fueled car to work. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel bright yellow Peugeot 407 and, like many people before her, assumed that she could simply fill up her tank with diesel and it would be no problem. The engine was coughing and then it died when she got to the entrance of her office. We soon started on the fuel drain following her call and got it repaired within an hour while she was at the office. She came outside when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm really happy you sorted my vehicle."

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.
