It was before eight pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! James and me were relaxing going over the recent football, at the ready for the 6th call for the day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Halmore and filled petrol in a diesel mom's BMW 6 Series rental car. The poor lady was somewhat irritated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure area and, because it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to find the lady swiftly.

AdBlue Contamination

In Gloucestershire we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not being aware of how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most certainly do not crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Whenever you end up in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the technical expertise and experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GL13 Postcode - Halmore Misfueling

Just had a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Tuesday and we were on the way to assist an older woman after she had put petrol in her diesel dark green Vauxhall Astra in Halmore. I had been informed she had left the filling station and broken down in a backwater lane on the way to see her godchildren. I got the location punched into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I reached the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said, "I have been becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car taking diesel as I'd only just acquired it several days ago after my old one, which I had had for more than 30 years, eventually died on me". I completed the job and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Gloucestershire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Halmore - Wrong Fuel in Car Halmore

I appreciated a terrific day cycling on the weekend and was feeling contented the next day as I headed out to assist a new family away in Halmore. They had conked out after inserting diesel in their deep grey Mitsubishi Montero, and they were roughly an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the woman telling off her husband for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this situation happens regularly in Gloucestershire and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, even so he still got his ear bent. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyway, I drained the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted goodbye and considered what my missus would do to me if ever I made the exact same error... I would personally never hear the end of it!
