AdBlue Contamination

All over Hertfordshire we are discovering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by people not knowing the right way to to make use of (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the car.

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

Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Any time you find yourself in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the technical expertise and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SG9 Postcode - Wakeley Misfueling

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a rainy Saturday and we were en route to assist an older lady after she had put petrol in her diesel white Chevrolet Caprice in Wakeley. She told us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was stranded in a country lane en route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location punched into the Satnav and got there within an hour or so. I reached the location and drained the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing it she said to me, "I have been becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I'd just got it a week back because my other one, which I'd owned for more than 25 years, inevitably died on me". I got the job completed and she presented me a toffee and said thanks. What a precious Hertfordshire woman!

I enjoyed a terrific evening hiking on my day off and was feeling pleased with myself the next day as I was en route to help a young family who were holidaying in Wakeley. They'd pulled over after adding diesel into their mum's Mitsubishi 3000GT, and were about an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smiled while I heard to the woman telling off her man for turning out to be so daft. "Precisely how could you even be able to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this occurs everyday in Hertfordshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, and yet he still had his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I drained all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted good bye and wondered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
