The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Derbyshire we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely be careful not to turn over the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix all types of AdBlue contamination.

Just had a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Sunday and we were en route to help an old sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel canary yellow Chevrolet Suburban in Old Tupton. She told us that she had left the petrol station and pulled up along a country road on the way to visit her grandchildren. I plugged her location into the Satnav and arrived within 60 minutes. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing the work she said to me, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel because I had only just purchased it a couple of days ago right after my previous one, which I had owned for more than thirty years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant Derbyshire lady!

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.
