It was about 10 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's golf, ready for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Ashington and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel red Vauxhall Insignia hire car in error. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe space and, since it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could find the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and not so concerned. A fuel drain in Dorset done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Dorset we are encountering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not being aware of how to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And most certainly take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you did start the car you will likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BH21 Postcode - Ashington Misfueling

A customer had come to a halt on a street, Ashington having just put the wrong fuel in her car. She was crying and really distressed as she had put £55 petrol in her diesel car. As she called us we made an effort to cool her as well as we could, reassuring her that all would be fine. When we reached her she was not upset any more and was really fascinated in observing our fuel drainer do the fuel drain on her precious Audi Allroad. Afterwards she said: "My car is akin to my baby, I only just purchased it and thus it genuinely concerned me that I had put such an abundance of wrong fuel in it.

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.
