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 where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers not being aware of how to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And of course do not start up the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

If you get in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the technical competence and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Cowan Bridge - Wrong Fuel in Car Cowan Bridge

I enjoyed a terrific evening fishing during the weekend and felt pleased with myself the next morning as I set out to assist a young couple who were on vacation in Cowan Bridge. They conked out after putting petrol into their spotless Skoda Yeti, and they were roughly an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed while I heard to the wife telling her hubby off for turning out to be so daft. "How could you even manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this situation takes place quite frequently in Lancashire and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he yet still had his ear bent. Poor guy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove off I shouted farewell and considered what my missus would tell me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
