It was before eight pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were resting going over the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Scald End and put the wrong fuel in her diesel mint green Cadillac STS-V rental car. The poor lady was rather affected it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was just a short distance from where we were, we could get to her right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could go home to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and a lot less concerned. Another job in Bedfordshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Bedfordshire we are identifying progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part caused by people not understanding how to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the car.

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

Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And of course never start the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the car you may likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Give us a call if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Scald End - Wrong Fuel in Car Scald End

I'd had a wonderful day golfing on the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the following working day as I headed out to help a new couple who were holidaying in Scald End. They had conked out after putting diesel into their mate's Isuzu i-350, and were about half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smirked as I heard to the wife chastising her hubby for being so daft. "Just how could you even be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this happens regularly in Bedfordshire and that it's nothing to fret about, however he all the same got his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate chap. At any rate, I drained out all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I mouthed hasta la vista and thought about what my wife would tell me if I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
