It was before 7 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were seated going over the recent golf results, waiting around for the 6th call of the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Bishops Cleeve and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel sky blue Jeep Cherokee hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty agitated apparently, crying "I can not believe I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things sadly can happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe area and, because it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to reach the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Gloucestershire we are discovering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people not being aware of the way to work with it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

As the product is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And most certainly be careful not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Call us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of every type of AdBlue fluid 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 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.
