The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Norfolk we have discovered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the vehicle.

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

Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most certainly take care not to start the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking bay. If you did start the vehicle you may likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

This was exactly an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about 2:30am and nobody was stirring. It had been fairly dead so far, and Ryan and I were relaxing browsing a few old newspapers. It was an unusual peaceful hour in Norfolk. Actually it was indeed so quiet that the moment the phone finally rang I jumped with surprise! The voice said: "I finished my overnight shift and foolishly put petrol in my husband's Mercedes-Benz E-Class in error". I told him to let us know just where he was situated and we hit the road, arriving in Alburgh less than an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the motor. He thanked us profusely for getting there so fast. As we were going back home we saw two young women at the side of the street who looked like they had a flat. As a result we pulled over to change it, much to their delight.

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.
