The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Suffolk we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially due to people being unsure of the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the car.

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

Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at once. And definitely don't turn over the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Call us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
