The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Essex we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of how to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely take care not to crank the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. In case you have started the car you would likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Any time you find yourself in this situation don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the specialised skills and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Wakes Colne Green - Wrong Fuel in Car Wakes Colne Green

I had a terrific evening hiking on my off day and felt contented the next day as I set out to assist a young family on holiday in Wakes Colne Green. They had stopped after putting the wrong fuel into their khaki green Cadillac STS-V, and the car was about half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the gal telling her man off for actually being so confused. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this goes on on a regular basis in Essex and that it's actually absolutely nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he still had his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would do to me if I made the same error... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Wakes Colne Green

I'm not ever excessively keen on running on Sundays, and last week was no different. I had just come away from the wife and kids after a lovely Sunday roast prepared for us by the wife, and I was en route to assist a fellow after he had put the incorrect fuel in his deep grey Subaru Legacy. He was only in Wakes Colne Green thus I was on scene rapidly. As I arrived behind the car and stepped out he said to me "Thank God! I stupidly had my concentration on something else and failed to perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted some harm by starting it?" I said that truth be told there should not be any problems and also that I'd personally get the fuel drained at once. Obviously I drained the fuel from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and thus one more pleased customer was able to continue on their journey without the need for bother. He could not stop thanking me, and that makes carrying out work on weekends in Essex that little bit better to me!

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.
