The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Tyne and Wear we have identified progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people being unsure of the way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And of course don't switch on the car - not even to relocate it to a parking place. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Should you find yourself in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the technical competence and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car Tyne and Wear - Petrol in Diesel Car Whitehills

We performed a wrong fuel retrieval exercise on the drive of a spectacular property in Whitehills a few weeks ago. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to nearly arrive at home when my car broke down." Our specialist went out, despite the fact that it was quite late at night, and completed a standard fuel drain and purge on the wife's BMW X5 .

This was certainly what we call the night shift. It was roughly 3:30am and hardly anyone was stirring. It had been rather uneventful up to now, and me and Brian were relaxing reading through a few old magazines. That was an uncommon calm hour in Tyne and Wear. Actually it was in fact that quiet that the instant the phone finally rang I jumped! The person on the other end explained: "I only just finished my overnight shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in a shiny Citron DS3". We instructed him to let us know exactly where the vehicle was located and we headed out, reaching him in Whitehills only an hour later. The fuel was cleaned from the vehicle and he thanked us for arriving so fast. As we were coming back to base we spotted two women on the side of the road who appeared to have a puncture. Obviously we pulled up to change it, much 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.
