The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Somerset we have identified a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not knowing the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

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

As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained right away. And certainly be careful not to start up the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Call us in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

I'd had a perfect day golfing during the weekend and felt pleased with myself the next working day as I set off to help a young couple who were away in Washbrook. They had pulled over after putting petrol in their new-shape Jaguar XF, and the car was roughly an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and smirked as I heard to the woman telling her man off for being so silly. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing goes on on a regular basis in Somerset and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, nonetheless he still had an earful. Unfortunate boy. Anyhow, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted good-bye and wondered what her indoors would ask me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
