The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Oxfordshire we have found a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not knowing the right way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely do not turn over the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In case you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Any time you discover yourself to be in this position don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the specialised competence and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in OX2 Postcode - Wolvercote Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Sunday and we were off to assist an old woman after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel new Ford Focus ST in Wolvercote. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded along a country road on the way to see her godchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said, "I have been getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel as I had just bought it a week ago after my old car, which I had used for in excess of thirty years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Oxfordshire woman!

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.
