It was just after ten pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were seated there going over the recent footy rankings, prepared for the 6th job to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Chalvey and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel silver Chevrolet Colorado hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was very distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!"

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Berkshire we have identified more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not understanding the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it asap. And certainly never switch on the engine - not even to shift it into a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

I popped the location into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I turned up at the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel in the car car. While I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm getting relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel because I'd only bought it a week ago because my former one, which I had had for about 25 years, eventually died on me".

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.
