The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Worcestershire we are discovering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not knowing how to use it (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it immediately. And certainly take care not to start up the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you will most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this scenario don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the technical know-how and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Winyates Green - Wrong Fuel in Car Winyates Green

I enjoyed a terrific evening hiking on my off day and was feeling delighted the following working day as I was en route to assist a new family who were vacationing in Winyates Green. They'd pulled over after adding the wrong fuel in their father's Smart Forfour, and were about half an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife telling her partner off for being so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him.

In any case, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel.

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.
