The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Kingston upon Thames we are finding progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.

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

Since the product is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And absolutely do not crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the practical expertise and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in E3 Postcode - Mile End Misfueling

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a sunny Monday and I was on the way to assist an older woman who had put petrol in her diesel partner's Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG in Mile End. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded along a country road on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged her location straight into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour. I turned up at the location and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was working she said to me, "Now I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I'd only just purchased it a couple of days back after my previous one, which I'd owned for in excess of twenty five years, eventually stopped working". I got the job done and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a lovely Kingston upon Thames lady!

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.
