The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Oxfordshire we have seen an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists not knowing the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

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

Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly don't turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In the event that you have started the car you may most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Boat Fuel Drains

Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

This was exactly what is called the night shift. It was close to 2:30 in the morning and noone was around. It had been rather quiet so far, and me and Brian were sitting reading through several old articles. It was a rare restful time in Oxfordshire. Actually it was in fact that tranquil that the instant the phone rang it made me jump! The motorist stated: "I have just completed my night shift and foolishly put petrol in my wife's Volvo V50".

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.
