The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

In Derbyshire we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the automobile.

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

Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely don't start the car - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Contact us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Marine Fuel Drains

We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

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.
