The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lincolnshire we have seen an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

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.
