The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Redbridge we are identifying progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part due to people not being aware of the right way to work with it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the automobile.

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

Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained right away. And most definitely never start the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Contact us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have successfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

Just had a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a bright Tuesday and we were on my way to assist an elder woman who put petrol in her diesel boss' VW Jetta in Fullwell Cross. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded in a country lane on route to visit her grandchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I reached the destination and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "I am becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car working with diesel since I'd only just bought it several days ago right after my former car, which I had used for more than 30 years, eventually died". I completed the drain and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Redbridge woman!

A lady from Fullwell Cross with her youngsters in her diesel mom's Seat Mii had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She called us crying and very distraught as she had never wrong fueled before and didn't know what could happen to her car because of it. We reassured her that everything should be ok and that she would be in action quickly. When we got there she was visible distressed but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She quickly cheered up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Particularly with the kids on board."

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.
