It was close to ten pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on pouring! Dan and I were seated discussing the weekend's rugby results, ready for the seventh telephone call to come in. Before long we got the call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Northway and put the wrong fuel in a diesel mum's Mazda MX-6 hire car in error. She was fairly agitated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was only a short distance away from where we were, we were able to find the lady swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off satisfied and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Gloucestershire we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As the product is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If in case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it immediately. And definitely be careful not to crank the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct different types of AdBlue 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.
