It was just before eight pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were seated going over the sports, prepared for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Croxton and filled petrol in a diesel bright white Citron DS5 rental in error. The unfortunate thing was very distressed apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we could find her swiftly.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Cambridgeshire we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from people not being aware of how to to make use of (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

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

Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And of course be careful not to turn over the car - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

This was most definitely an unsociable time to be awake. It was close to sunrise and almost noone was around. It had become pretty uneventful thus far, and Brian and I were sitting around reading a few old newspapers. That was a rare quiet moment in Cambridgeshire. Actually it was in fact so relaxing that the instant the telephone inevitably rang I jumped! The person on the opposite end stated: "I've finished my evening shift and incredibly put petrol in my diesel husband's Fiat Punto". We got him to tell us where he was and we hit the road, arriving in Croxton under 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for coming so quickly.

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.
