The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Worcestershire we have seen progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by people not being totally sure the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Should you get in this situation don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the technical skills and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in B60 Postcode - Charford Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night of sleep! 7:30 on a rainy Wednesday and we were off to assist an elder sweetheart who put the wrong fuel in her diesel partner's Porsche Cayman in Charford. I'd been informed she had left the petrol station and broken down in a rural lane along the way to see her family. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and was with her within an hour or so. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing the drain she said, "I'm becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car working with diesel seeing that I had only just acquired it a few days back because my previous one, which I had used for more than thirty years, eventually died". I completed the job and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks. What a precious Worcestershire lady!

This was what we call an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was about dawn and almost noone was stirring. It had become rather quiet until now, and me and Ryan were relaxing perusing a number of old newspapers. This was a rare calm moment in Worcestershire. It was in fact that calm that the instant my mobile eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The voice on the opposite end told me: "I've just concluded my evening shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel grey Jeep Compass". I got him to inform us where he was situated and we hit the road, arriving in Charford not as much as half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the car. He said thank you for getting there so rapidly. As we were returning home we noticed two young women on the edge of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to change it, much to their delight.

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.
