The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout County Durham we have encountered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of people not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the vehicle.

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

Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And of course never start the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Should you find yourself in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the specialised know-how and experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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 VA 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.
