The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In North Yorkshire we have found progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the automobile.

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

Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And absolutely never turn over the car - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car North Yorkshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Barlby

I am certainly not excessively excited about doing the job weekends, and a while back was no different. I had only just departed the family after having a wonderful dinner prepared for me by the missus, and I was on my way to deal with a guy who had filled the incorrect petrol in his new Kia Carens. He was somewhere in Barlby therefore I was there almost immediately. As I pulled up right behind the car and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I had my concentration on other considerations and did not ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol car. Have I caused any kind of harm through driving it?" I stated that generally there should not be any harm and that I would personally drain the contaminated fuel as quickly as possible. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in some suitable fuel, and yet another contented customer had the ability to continue their trip with no hassle. The man couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this helps make working on weekends in North Yorkshire just a small bit easier to me!

It truly was an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was about 2:30am and nobody was around. It had become fairly uneventful so far, and me and Ryan were relaxing looking at a number of old newspapers. That was an uncommon calm hour in North Yorkshire. Actually it was in fact that tranquil that the moment the phone rang I jumped with surprise! The person explained: "I have only just finished my night shift and stupidly filled petrol in the red Ford Transit Connect in error". I told him to inform us where exactly the vehicle was and we hit the road, arriving in Barlby no more than 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor and he thanked us for coming so quickly. While we were coming back to the depot we spotted two women on the side of the street who looked like they suffered a flat. Accordingly we pulled over and helped them 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.
