It was just before 9 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were resting discussing the recent golf, waiting around for the 6th job that day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Kniveton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel work's Honda Prelude rental car in error. She was pretty distressed it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to get the car to a safe spot and, because it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the motel she was living at.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Derbyshire we are noticing a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In the event that you have started the car you will probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DE6 Postcode - Kniveton Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a bright Sunday and we were on my way to help an old sweetheart who put contaminated fuel in her diesel red Chevrolet Caprice in Kniveton. She told us that she drove away from the filling station and stranded on a rural road along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour. I reached the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "Now I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I had only got it a couple of days ago when my previous one, which I had had for about twenty five years, eventually stopped working". I got the job completed and she gifted me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a lovely Derbyshire woman!

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.
