The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout West Sussex we have discovered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And obviously take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

If you end up in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the practical know-how and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PO20 Postcode - Rookwood Misfueling

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a rainy Wednesday and we were on my way to assist an older lady after she had put petrol in her diesel cyan Audi RS4 in Rookwood. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and was stranded in a country road along the way to see her grandchildren. I plugged the location into the Satnav and arrived inside an hour. I arrived at the car and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing it she said, "Now I'm getting rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel as I'd only purchased it a couple of days ago after my other car, which I'd owned for in excess of thirty years, finally stopped working". I got the job done and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant West Sussex lady!

Just picture conking out in a vehicle filled with the improper fuel on the road. One of our last customers who filled her diesel car with petrol (cobalt blue Porsche Boxster) in Rookwood endured precisely this kind of issue: "You may already know that I accidentally filled my car with the wrong fuel a few days ago. I was so stressed about contaminating my fuel that I was besides myself. Nevertheless I shouldn't have concerned myself seeing that you were brilliant in sorting the problem out."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Rookwood - Fuel Rescue Rookwood

A customer from Rookwood with a full car of kids in her diesel cyan Honda Accord had put £30 of petrol at the Texaco station. She contacted us sobbing and really upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and did not know what would happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that everything should be alright and that she would be on the road quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but as our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was on her way saying, "I just can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially with the kids on board."

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.
