It was just after 7 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were sitting discussing the sports rankings, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Godmanstone and filled petrol in her diesel dark red Renault Master rental by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Dorset we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And definitely don't switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking spot. Assuming you have started the car you will likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct different types 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.

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.
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.
