The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

In Westminster we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of people not knowing how to use it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at once. And of course take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. If you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
