It was just after six pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it had not ceased raining! Ray and me were relaxing commenting on the recent sports, ready for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Dowlesgreen and put petrol in a diesel old Land Rover Defender 110 hire car by mistake. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could get back to the motel she was residing in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and not so concerned. Another misfuel correction in Berkshire well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Berkshire we have seen progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the car.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

As the product is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously be careful not to crank the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

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.
