It was after 7 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there going over the recent sports, at the ready for the sixth call to arrive. In due time we had a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Little Cambridge and filled petrol in her diesel grass green Renault Traffic rental car by mistake. She was pretty agitated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from us, we could find the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could go home to the motel she was staying in. Although we got very wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home contented and less concerned.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Essex we have identified progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of people not being totally sure the right way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Wrong Fuel Assist Little Cambridge - Wrong Fuel in Car Little Cambridge

I had appreciated a fantastic evening cycling during my day off and felt satisfied with myself the following day as I set out to help a new couple holidaying in Little Cambridge. They conked out after adding diesel in their beloved Mitsubishi Chariot, and they were about an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the wife berating her hubby for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you actually find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this goes on regularly in Essex and that it is nothing to stress about, but he yet still had an earful. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove off I waved farewell and wondered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
