The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Tyne and Wear we are identifying a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly don't crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this position don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the practical skills and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
