It was close to 7 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and me were seated discussing the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in The Holmes and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel maroon BMW 550 lease car in error. The poor thing was quite distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe area and, as it was only a few miles off from the office, we were able to get to her almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Derbyshire we have identified more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And certainly be careful not to start the engine - not even to move it into a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to 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.
