It was close to 8 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's golf rankings, prepared for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Boxworth and put the wrong fuel in a diesel wife's Citron DS4 lease car in error. She was somewhat agitated apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things can happen. She managed to get the car to a protected space and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we were able to get to the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and a lot less worried. A fuel drain in Cambridgeshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Cambridgeshire we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not knowing how to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely do not switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

I got the location plugged in the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was doing the drain she said, "I have been becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel as I had just acquired it a couple of days back after my other one, which I had used for over 30 years, eventually died on me". I completed the job and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant Cambridgeshire lady!

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.
