The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Dorset we have discovered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from drivers not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the car.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at once. And obviously take care not to start up the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In cases where you have started the car you may probably have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

If you get in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the specialised knowledge and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
