It was after 10 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were seated there talking over the recent tennis results, prepared for the sixth call of the day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Holwell and put the wrong fuel in a diesel creamy white Mazda MX-5 lease car in error. She was somewhat distressed it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly happen. She was able to move the car into a safe spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and not so stressed. Another job in Dorset well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Dorset we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people not being totally sure how to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it asap. And absolutely don't start the car - not even to shift it to a parking place. If you did start the car you may most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to attend to every type of AdBlue liquid 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.
