It was just before five pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were relaxing there talking over the recent football results, waiting around for the seventh call to arrive. Finally we had the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in Winkfield and put petrol in a diesel expensive BMW Z4 rental car in error. She was rather distressed apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from our van, we could get to the woman swiftly.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Berkshire we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at once. And obviously never crank the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Whenever you find yourself in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the technical expertise and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
