The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Rutland we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And of course don't crank the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. If you did start the car you may probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PE9 Postcode - Tinwell Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Tuesday and I was on the way to help an elder sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel blue Toyota RAV4 in Tinwell. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station and was broken down along a country road en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped the location in the Satnav and was with her inside an hour. I reached the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was working she told me, "I have been becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it a few days back when my other one, which I used for more than 30 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a lovely Rutland woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Rutland - Petrol in Diesel Car Tinwell

I'm not actually that keen on doing work weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd just departed the family after eating a superb dinner prepared for us by the missus, and I was off to assist a gentleman after he had filled the wrong fuel in his new-shape VW Jetta. He was only in Tinwell thus it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I arrived at the car and got out he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my mind on other stuff and did not perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought on any harm because of driving it?" I determined truth be told there probably should not be damage and also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained immediately for him. As expected I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and so another contented client had the ability to continue their trip without bother. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what can make working on weekends in Rutland just a little bit better for me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Tinwell - Fuel Rescue Tinwell

This was exactly what we call an unsociable hour to be awake. It was close to 2:30 in the morning and almost noone was about. It was fairly dead thus far, and Ray and I were relaxing browsing a number of old papers. It was a rare restful time in Rutland. Actually it was in fact so calm that the moment the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The customer stated: "I've finished my night shift and foolishly put petrol in the light blue VW GLI". We asked him to tell us exactly where the vehicle was located and we hit the road, arriving in Tinwell 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the engine and he said thanks for arriving so rapidly. While we were going back to base we spotted two girls on the side of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over to help them change it, to their delight.

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.
