It was close to eight pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing talking over the recent golf results, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Whitchurch Canonicorum and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel husband's Mercedes-Benz R-Class rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things sadly often happen. She managed to get the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we could find the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the motel she was living at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off relaxed and much less anxious. Another fuel drain in Dorset well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Dorset we are encountering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it right away. And most definitely take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will probably need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

If perhaps you end up in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the specialised competence and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
