It was close to ten pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and me were relaxing commenting on the rugby, prepared for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Ways Green and put petrol in her diesel blue Peugeot 3008 rental in error. The poor lady was fairly troubled it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, as it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could go home to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. Another job in Cheshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Cheshire we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists not knowing the right way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely never start the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to different 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.
