It was around 10 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a rainless evening, it had not ceased raining! Ray and I were relaxing there going over the football results, waiting for the 6th job for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Higher Kingcombe and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel modern Jaguar XK lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to move the car to a secure position and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could return to the hotel she was staying in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another job in Dorset done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Dorset we have seen an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And most definitely don't crank the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In case you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix all types of AdBlue 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.
