It was after 9 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting talking about the weekend's golf results, at the ready for the next call to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Upton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel partner's Cadillac STS hire car. She was very distressed apparently, saying "I cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure space and, as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and much less anxious. Another fuel drain in Cambridgeshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Cambridgeshire we have identified more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of motorists not being aware of how to use it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the event that you have started the car you will likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct all 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.
