It was around seven pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and I were relaxing there discussing the recent tennis results, waiting for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Coombe Keynes and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel sunflower yellow Volkswagen Golf hire car by mistake. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we could get to the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and much less concerned. A fuel drain in Dorset done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Dorset we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not knowing the right way to work with it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And most definitely be careful not to start up the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you will likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

In the event that you get in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the technical knowledge and experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or 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.
