The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

In Northumberland we are encountering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to start the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Call us in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car Northumberland - Petrol in Diesel Car Henshaw

Now I am not ever excessively interested in running on weekends, and a while back was the same. I had only just left the family following a superb Sunday roast cooked for us by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a gentleman after he put the wrong fuel in his aunt's Nissan Pathfinder. He was stationed in Henshaw and so I was with him almost immediately. As I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and got busy draining he told me "Thank God! I foolishly had my concentration on something else and failed to grasp that I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought on problems through driving it?" I explained truth be told there shouldn't be any damage and also that I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained as quickly as possible. It goes without saying that I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus one more contented motorist could continue his trip without hassle. The gentleman did not stop thanking me, and this is what helps make earning a living on Sundays in Northumberland just that little bit better in my opinion!

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.
