The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Somerset we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

As the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained right away. And most definitely take care not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it to a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

I am not so interested in running on Sundays, and the other day was no different. I'd only just come away from home following a tasty roast prepared for me by the better half, and I was en route to assist a fellow who had put the wrong fuel in his dirty red Peugeot 508. He was situated in West Huntspill and so it wasn't long before I arrived with him. Just as I arrived behind the car and got out he said to me "Praise God! I stupidly had my thoughts on stuff and failed to ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Have I caused some damage by driving it?" I stated generally there probably should not be any problems and that also I would get the contaminated fuel drained immediately for him. It goes without saying that I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and put in the correct fuel, and one more contented customer had the ability to continue on his journey without the hassle. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what makes operating on weekends in Somerset just a tiny bit less painful to me!

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.
