It was about eight pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were resting discussing the weekend's sports, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we had the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Egglesburn and put the wrong fuel in her diesel rust red Skoda Citigo lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to get to the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and a lot less worried. Another fuel drain in County Durham done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In County Durham we have encountered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not being aware of how to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

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

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And of course never start up the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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 VA 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.
