The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue Contamination

In Gloucestershire we are discovering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the car.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely don't start up the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the car you will likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

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.
