AdBlue Contamination

All around Hertfordshire we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not being totally sure how to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And obviously never crank the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

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

Wrong Fuel Assist St Margarets - Wrong Fuel in Car St Margarets

I appreciated a wonderful afternoon cycling on my holiday and was feeling satisfied the next day as I was en route to aid a new couple who were away in St Margarets. They pulled over after inserting diesel into their mint green Vauxhall Combo, and the car was around half an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed as I heard to the wife telling her husband off for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this comes to pass frequently in Hertfordshire and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to fret about, nonetheless he yet still got an earful. Poor lad. At any rate, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. While they drove down the road I waved so long and considered what my missus would tell me if ever I did the very same thing... I would never ever 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.
