AdBlue Contamination

All over Surrey we are discovering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly due to drivers not knowing how to use it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the car.

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

Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously don't start up the car - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Whenever you find yourself in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the practical knowledge and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Mickleham - Wrong Fuel in Car Mickleham

I'd had a terrific evening golfing on my holiday and felt contented the next morning as I set off to aid a new family who were on vacation in Mickleham. They'd pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their elegant Volvo S80, and the car was around half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and smiled as I listened to the lady telling her hubby off for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you even find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this problem goes on on a regular basis in Surrey and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he still got an ear bashing. Unfortunate boy. Anyhow, I extracted all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed bon voyage and pondered on what my wife would say to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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 VAT 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.
