It was just before five pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were sitting talking over the recent rugby rankings, ready for the sixth job of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Pondersbridge and filled petrol in her diesel old Ford Transit Connect rental. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from us, we could find the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and a lot less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Cambridgeshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it in case you’ve put AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid made out of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is actually harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the AdBlue will undoubtedly be squirted into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

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.
