It was just after seven pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on raining! Mark and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's football results, waiting for the 6th job that day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Donnington and filled petrol in a diesel old Honda CR-Z rental car. She was very troubled apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure position and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from where we were, we could find her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off contented and much less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Berkshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Berkshire we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it asap. And definitely do not start up the car - not even to move it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Phone us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will take care of different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Donnington - Wrong Fuel in Car Donnington

I'd had a wonderful evening hiking on the weekend and felt delighted the next morning as I set out to help a young couple who were vacationing in Donnington. They broken down after filling the wrong fuel into their burgundy red BMW 745, and were around an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smiled as I listened to the wife telling her partner off for being so silly. "Just how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this problem goes on everyday in Berkshire and that it's actually nothing at all to be anxious about, and yet he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching while they drove off I waved good-bye and thought about what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the exact same blunder... I would never ever 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.
