It was close to five pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated discussing the footy results, ready for the 6th job for the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Harescombe and put the wrong fuel in her diesel sombre grey Mitsubishi Diamante hire car by mistake. The poor lady was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I still can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to move the car to a protected area and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from our van, we could find the woman fairly quickly.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

What you should do in the event that you may have poured AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a solution composed of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be harmful to your car's fuel system, specifically in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in your fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will likely be injected into the fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, resulting in catastrophic and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

    • 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.
