The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Suffolk we are identifying progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not being aware of the way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

In the event that you end up in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the technical competence and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

I had enjoyed a wonderful evening golfing on the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I set out to help a new couple holidaying in Great Thurlow. They broken down after adding diesel into their green Range Rover Classic, and they were approximately an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the lady chastising her hubby for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this happens regularly in Suffolk and that it is nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he still had an ear bashing by his wife. Poor lad. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!

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.
