The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

In Dorset we have seen a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never turn over the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If you did start the car you may most likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

This was most definitely the graveyard shift. It was around 2:30am and hardly anyone was stirring. It was quite uneventful thus far, and Brian and I were sitting reading through a number of old magazines. This was an unusual peaceful moment in Dorset. Actually it was indeed that relaxing that the instant my mobile finally rang it made me start! The person on the other end stated: "I just ended my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in a work's Porsche 911 by mistake". We told him to inform us just where he was and we hit the road, ending up in Fairmile only 30 minutes later. The fuel was extracted from the engine. He thanked us for coming out so rapidly. As we were returning to the office we found two girls on the side of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we got out to help them change it, to their delight.

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.
