It was just before 9 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and I were sitting going over the weekend's sports results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Kingscourt and filled petrol in a diesel brother's Audi RS 6 lease car. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we were able to get to the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off calm and much less anxious. One more job in Gloucestershire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we have discovered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the car.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out asap. And of course don't switch on the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct every type of AdBlue liquid 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.
