The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout West Sussex we are identifying a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And absolutely don't turn over the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you will in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

In case you find yourself in this scenario don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the practical know-how and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Patching - Wrong Fuel in Car Patching

I'd had a terrific evening cycling during my afternoon off and felt contented with myself the next morning as I was en route to aid a new family vacationing in Patching. They broken down after adding the wrong fuel in their raspberry red Ford Taurus, and they were roughly an hour away. I turned up at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the lady berating her spouse for being so stupid. "Precisely how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing happens on a regular basis in West Sussex and that it's absolutely nothing to stress about, even so he yet still had an earful. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted bon voyage and considered what my wife would ask me if I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
