AdBlue Contamination

All around Gloucestershire we are noticing a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

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

Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And obviously don't crank the engine - not even to shift it into a parking area. If you did start the car you would probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Contact us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GL8 Postcode - Nags Head Misfueling

Just had a good night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a gloomy Bank Holiday Monday and I was on the way to assist an old sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel metallic silver Toyota Camry in Nags Head. I'd been told she had left the petrol station and was stranded in a backwater road on the way to visit her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I arrived at the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing the work she said, "I am getting rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car needing diesel as I'd just acquired it a short while ago because my former car, which I used for about 25 years, eventually stopped working". I got the job done and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a lovely Gloucestershire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Nags Head - Wrong Fuel in Car Nags Head

I had a great afternoon hiking during my holiday and was feeling delighted the next day as I set out to help a new family away in Nags Head. They'd stopped after adding petrol in their red Toyota Camry, and they were around an hour away. I arrived at their position and smirked as I listened to the lady berating her spouse for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass constantly in Gloucestershire and that it's really nothing at all to be concerned about, even so he yet still got his ear bent by his better half. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some appropriate fuel. While they drove away I mouthed so long and considered what her indoors would say to me if I did the very same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!

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.
