The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout North Yorkshire we are identifying a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

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

Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And of course take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Any time you get in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the specialised skills and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
