The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we are discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at once. And of course be careful not to start up the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

In the event that you discover yourself to be in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the practical skills and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Withycombe - Wrong Fuel in Car Withycombe

I had a wonderful day cycling on my off day and felt delighted the next working day as I set out to help a young family who were on holiday in Withycombe. They'd broken down after putting the wrong fuel in their new Ford, and the car was close to half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked while I heard to the lady telling her partner off for turning out to be so foolish. "Precisely how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing takes place continuously in Somerset and that it is nothing to fret about, however he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive off I waved so long and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!

A young lady from Withycombe with a full car of kids in her diesel teal Austin Mini had filled her car with £30 of petrol at the BP petrol station. She phoned us sobbing and extremely worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We reassured her that all would be ok and that she would be in action very quickly. When we arrived she was visible upset but as our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined.

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.
