The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over North Yorkshire we have noticed increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people not being aware of the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at once. And most certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In case you did start the car you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

A relatively alarmed driver called us from the Texaco filling station at North Yorkshire to advise us that he put petrol in to his diesel blue Volvo960; he wasn't totally sure how he'd managed to do it.

A woman working in West Barnby contacted us shortly after she had tried to get her misfueled car to work. She had put petrol in her diesel clean white Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG and, like many people prior to her, assumed that she could just fill up her vehicle with diesel and it would be fine. The car was chugging and then it cut out when she reached the entrance of her office. We soon started on the fuel drain after she called and got it repaired in an hour or so while she was at work. She came out later on and thanked us stating, "I'm very pleased you repaired my vehicle."

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.
