It was just after 6 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting discussing the recent rugby, waiting for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Aveley and put petrol in a diesel winter grey Citron Picasso hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to get to her quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and not so worried. Another fuel drain in Essex done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Essex we have found more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most certainly don't start the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. Assuming you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

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.
