The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Staffordshire we have discovered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the car.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it right away. And of course never start up the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

If you find yourself in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the practical skills and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel.

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.
