It was just before 10 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were seated talking about the recent rugby results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Longburton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel buff Volvo S80 lease car by mistake. The poor lady was quite affected it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from where we were, we could arrive at the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the motel she was living at.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Dorset we have found an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not knowing the right way to work with it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As the product is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And of course don't crank the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will take care of all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DT9 Postcode - Longburton Misfueling

Just had a quality night's sleep! 7:00 am on a warm Monday and I was on my way to help an elder sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel bright yellow BMW 545 in Longburton. I had been told she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded along a rural road on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I plugged her location in the Satnav and arrived inside an hour. I arrived at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "I am getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel since I had just got it a couple of days ago right after my former one, which I had used for in excess of 25 years, eventually died". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Dorset woman!

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.
