The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Suffolk we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of people being unsure of how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And obviously do not turn over the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Whenever you find yourself in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the practical expertise and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car Suffolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Brooms Barn

I'm not actually overly interested in working Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had just left home after having a wonderful Sunday roast prepared for me by the better half, and I was on the way to deal with a gentleman after he had filled the wrong petrol in his cream Volkswagen. He was stationed in Brooms Barn therefore it wouldn't be long before I reached him. As I arrived at the rear of the car and got out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my mind on other considerations and failed to realise I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused harm simply by running it?" I determined truth be told there probably should not be harm and that I would get the fuel drained right away for him. It goes without saying that I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus one more happy customer had the ability to continue his trip without any bother. The guy couldn't stop thanking me, and that is actually what helps make earning a living on Sundays in Suffolk that tiny bit easier for me!

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.
