The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hertfordshire we have identified a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And of course never crank the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Any time you end up in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the specialised expertise and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

They'd stopped after filling petrol in their apple green BMW 745, and were around an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the lady chastising her spouse for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this problem goes on quite frequently in Hertfordshire and that it is nothing at all to fret about, nevertheless he all the same got an ear bashing by his missus. I felt sorry for the guy. In any case, I drained out the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some right fuel. As they drove off I mouthed hasta la vista and considered what my missus would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

This was the graveyard shift. It was about sunrise and nobody was stirring. It had become pretty dead thus far, and Paul and I were relaxing reading a number of old newspapers. This was an unusual calm time in Hertfordshire. It was that tranquil that when my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The motorist on the phone explained: "I have concluded my evening shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in my diesel spotless Toyota Highlander Hybrid in error". We told him to tell us exactly where the vehicle was and we headed out, arriving in Upper Dunsley no more than an hour later. The fuel was cleared from the motor and he thanked us profusely for arriving so quickly.

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.
