The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Gloucestershire we have noticed more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the automobile.

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

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And definitely don't turn over the motor - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct all types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BS32 Postcode - Woodhouse Down Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a gloomy Monday and I was en route to help an older lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic yellow Jaguar X-Type in Woodhouse Down. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded along a country lane on the way to visit her grandchildren. I plugged the location in the Satnav and arrived inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the destination and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing the work she told me, "Now I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I had only just acquired it a week back right after my previous one, which I had used for about thirty years, eventually stopped working". I got the drain completed and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a pleasant Gloucestershire woman!

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.
