The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Somerset we have encountered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly due to drivers not knowing the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it immediately. And obviously do not start up the motor - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In cases where you did start the car you will probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily attend to all types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Icelton

Imagine conking out in a automobile full of the improper fuel halfway down the road. One of our last customers who filled her car with the incorrect fuel (mom's Mitsubishi Diamante) in Icelton ran into literally that type of issue: "Your engineer removed my motor from the live lane. He drained it and had it going in a half hour. Highly recommended."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Icelton - Fuel Rescue Icelton

This was what is called the night shift. It was close to 2:30am and almost noone was around. It had been quite dead thus far, and me and Brian were loafing about reading some old articles. This was an uncommon peaceful moment in Somerset. Actually it was that calm that the moment my mobile finally rang it made me start! The voice told me: "I've just completed my night shift and stupidly filled petrol in a faithful Lexus RX by mistake". We told him to tell us just where the vehicle was and we set off, arriving in Icelton under 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the engine and he thanked us for coming so fast. While we were going back to the office we noticed two young women on the edge of the road who seemed like they had a puncture. Obviously we pulled over to change it, much 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.
