It was about 5 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! Brian and I were sitting there discussing the recent tennis results, prepared for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Great Gidding and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel green Volvo960 rental car. The poor thing was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected spot and, since it was just a short distance away from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and a lot less concerned. One more fuel drain in Cambridgeshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Cambridgeshire we are noticing increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people being unsure of how to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And definitely never start the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. If you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

In case you get in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the practical skills and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
