The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Removal

We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Warwickshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, if we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Warwickshire we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

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

Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it asap. And definitely never switch on the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
