It was about 6 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining!

Eventually we got the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Dorn and filled petrol in her diesel modern Land Rover Range Rover Classic hire car. The unfortunate lady was fairly irritated it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not knowing the way to work with it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the car.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely don't turn over the engine - not even to move it off the pump. If you have started the car you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

If perhaps you get in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our experts have the practical expertise and working experience to get you back on the road promptly 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.
