It was after 9 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were seated there talking about the rugby, ready for the 8th telephone call to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in Chilton and filled petrol in a diesel beautiful Toyota Cressida rental car. The poor thing was quite troubled apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe position and, since it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to arrive at her fairly quickly.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Buckinghamshire we have discovered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part due to people not knowing the right way to use it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And of course take care not to crank the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. If you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to take care of all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Chilton - Wrong Fuel in Car Chilton

I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon cycling on my day off and felt cheerful the next morning as I was en route to aid a young couple who were on vacation in Chilton. They had pulled over after filling diesel into their metallic silver Cadillac CTS-V, and were around half an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the lady telling her spouse off for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this happens on a regular basis in Buckinghamshire and that it's nothing at all to fret about, but he still got an earful. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. As they drove down the road I waved farewell and considered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I would never ever live it down!

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.
