It was just after seven pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and me were sitting there talking over the football results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Stanford End and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel green Subaru Outback lease car by mistake. The poor thing was very irritated it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected space and, as it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. Another job in Berkshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Berkshire we have noticed more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people not being aware of how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

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

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct different types of AdBlue contamination.

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.
