The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Lancashire we are identifying more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And most certainly don't start up the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In case you have started the car you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lancashire - Petrol in Diesel Car Hunger Hill

Now I am certainly not overly keen on doing work Sundays, and last week was the same. I had just departed home following a superb Sunday roast prepared for me by the wife, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman because he put the wrong petrol in his father's Volkswagen Golf. He was stationed in Hunger Hill and so it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. As I drove up at the rear of the car and stepped out he said to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my concentration on other stuff and did not grasp that I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted any damage by driving it?" I determined there probably should not be any problems and that I'd remove the fuel right away for him. As expected I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some correct fuel, and then one more delighted client was able to carry on with their traveling without the need for difficulty. The guy could not stop saying thanks to me, and this tends to make working on Sundays in Lancashire just that little bit less painful in my opinion!

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 VA 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.
