The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

In Staffordshire we are encountering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of people not knowing how to work with it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained right away. And of course do not turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you may likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

In the event that you find yourself in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the practical know-how and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in B79 Postcode - Gillway Misfueling

What a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a warm Wednesday and we were en route to assist an older woman after she had put petrol in her diesel daughter's Range Rover Classic in Gillway. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and broken down on a backwater road on the way to visit her grandchildren. I punched her location straight into the Satnav and got there within an hour. I turned up at the car and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car taking diesel as I had only just acquired it a short while ago right after my previous one, which I'd had for in excess of 30 years, eventually died on me". I completed the job and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Staffordshire lady!

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 VAT 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.
