The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are identifying increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at once. And obviously be careful not to start up the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Hinton

We a few weeks ago received a phone call about a guy who put the incorrect fuel in his wife's Volvo V40 in Hinton. He had ground to a halt on the street. "I was pleased at how fast you people were in getting an engineer out to assist me when I erroneously filled my car with the wrong fuel. Thank you ever so much". Obviously we arrived punctually and purged the engine after flushing all the petrol from the diesel tank. When he arrived the fuel drainer said the client was scowling, but was grinning his face off after the fuel drain.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hinton - Fuel Rescue Hinton

A young lady driving in Hinton phoned us after she managed to get her misfueled vehicle to her office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic blue Peugeot 406 and, like countless before her, believed that she could basically fill up the car with diesel and it'd be alright. The vehicle was spluttering and then it stopped when she arrived at the entrance of her office. We soon started on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed within an hour while she was working. She came outside afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm very happy you sorted my vehicle."

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.
