The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over West Sussex we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to people being unsure of the way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to every type of AdBlue 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.
