The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Northamptonshire we have identified progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not being aware of how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly never crank the engine - not even to move it into a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Should you end up in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the practical expertise and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

We recently had a call about a young man who put the wrong fuel in his customised MINI Cooper Clubman in Stanford on Avon. He had conked out on the road. "After adding petrol in my diesel car I didn't notice the problem up until I conked out. You drained the wrong fuel from my car and got it working again. I was pleased by both how swift you were and your prices". It goes without saying that we got there punctually and flushed the engine after flushing all the unleaded from the diesel tank. On arrival our fuel drainer said the motorist was scowling, but was grinning his face off afterwards.

A young lady employed in Stanford on Avon contacted us as soon as she tried to get her misfueled car to the office. She had put unleaded in her diesel cream Nissan Armada and, like many prior to her, thought that she would be able to basically top up her car with diesel and it'd be fine. The engine was coughing and then it stopped when she reached the the front of her work. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed inside an hour or so while she was working. She came outside when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm very pleased you sorted 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 VAT 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.
