It was just after 5 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing going over the football rankings, prepared for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Stonebroom and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel mustard yellow Cadillac CTS-V hire car in error. The poor thing was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure area and, because it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to the lady right away. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Derbyshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Derbyshire we have discovered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And obviously take care not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If perhaps you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Call us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of every type of AdBlue fluid 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.

• 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.
