It was just before seven pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's golf, ready for the 6th call that day to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Rangeworthy and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel sunflower yellow VW Jetta III lease car in error. The poor thing was very distressed it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!"

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we are noticing a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the car.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it right away. And obviously don't turn over the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix 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.
