The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Surrey we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously don't switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GU5 Postcode - Albury Misfueling

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a sunny Monday and I was on my way to help an elder woman after she had put petrol in her diesel deep grey Jeep Grand Cherokee in Albury. I'd been told she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded on a rural road en route to visit her family. I punched the location into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour or so. I arrived at the location and removed the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing the drain she told me, "I have been becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel because I had just bought it several days back right after my other one, which I'd owned for over thirty years, eventually broke down". I got the job completed and she presented me a toffee and said thanks. Such a lovely Surrey woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Albury

I am not necessarily that inclined to running weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd just come away from the wife and kids after a superb lunch prepared for us by the better half, and I was off to help a fellow who filled the incorrect fuel in his apricot Audi 4000CS Quattro. He was situated in Albury and so I was there very quickly. As I pulled up at the vehicle and started work he told me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my thoughts on other things and didn't ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought on damage by simply starting it?" I stated generally there shouldn't be any problems and also that I'd get the fuel drained as soon as possible for him. As expected I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the correct fuel, and then one more happy customer could continue his traveling without the hassle. The man did not stop thanking me, and that tends to make earning a living on Sundays in Surrey a tiny bit less painful to 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 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.
