It was about 6 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting there talking over the tennis, waiting around for the 6th job to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Crowborough Warren and put petrol in a diesel dirty red Dodge Sprinter lease car in error. The poor lady was quite distressed it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from us, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home calm and much less concerned. A misfuel correction in East Sussex well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around East Sussex we have found increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to people being unsure of the right way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the automobile.

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

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And obviously don't switch on the car - not even to move it off the pump. In case you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

If perhaps you end up in this position don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the specialised knowledge and working 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 VAT 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.
