The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Tyne and Wear we have discovered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not knowing how to to make use of (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely do not crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Phone us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in NE40 Postcode - Crookhill Misfueling

Just had a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Saturday and I was on the way to help an elder lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel customised Chevrolet Camaro in Crookhill. I had been told she drove away from the filling station and stranded along a rural road on the way to visit her family. I punched the location in the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I turned up at the car and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing it she explained, "I'm getting rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car using diesel seeing that I had just got it a couple of days ago because my former car, which I used for over twenty five years, inevitably broke down". I got the job done and she presented me a toffee and said thanks. Such a pleasant Tyne and Wear lady!

This was most definitely the night shift. It was roughly 2am and nobody was about. It was fairly uneventful thus far, and me and John were sitting looking through a number of old newspapers. This was an unusual peaceful time in Tyne and Wear. Actually it was indeed so relaxing that the instant my mobile rang I jumped! The motorist told me: "I completed my overnight shift and incredibly poured petrol in my metallic yellow Toyota Camry". I asked him to tell us just where he was and we headed out, reaching him in Crookhill under an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car and he thanked us for showing up so rapidly. As we were heading back to the depot we found two ladies at the side of the highway who looked like they had a flat. Obviously we stopped to change it, to their elation.

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.
