The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Somerset we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by people not being totally sure the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the car.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And obviously don't crank the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In case you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Should you get in this situation don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the specialised skills and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TA22 Postcode - Hawkridge Misfueling

Just had a quality night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Sunday and I was off to help an older lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel light green BMW 530 in Hawkridge. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down on a backwater road along the way to visit her godchildren. I got the location punched in the TomTom and was with her within an hour or so. I reached the location and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was working she explained, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only purchased it a few days ago because my old one, which I had used for over twenty years, eventually died on me". I completed the job and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks. What a lovely Somerset lady!

A young lady from Hawkridge with a full car of kids in her diesel customised BMW Z4 had filled her car with £42 of petrol at the Tesco service station. She called us weeping and extremely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and did not know what might happen to her car .

When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but while our technician got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she recognised that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked.

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.
