The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Warwickshire we have seen a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by people being unsure of the right way to work with it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the car.

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

Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. If you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Contact us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

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.
