It was about ten pm on a Friday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were seated going over the weekend's rugby results, waiting for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Hurstead and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel compact Mercedes Sprinter 2500 hire car. The unfortunate thing was quite irritated it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure space and, because it was just a short distance away from the office, we were able to get to the woman swiftly.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Greater Manchester we are discovering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the car.

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

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And absolutely never switch on the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Give us a call if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hurstead - Wrong Fuel in Car Hurstead

I'd had a terrific afternoon fishing during the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the following working day as I headed out to assist a new family who were on holiday in Hurstead. They pulled over after adding the wrong fuel in their super Porsche 911, and were close to an hour's travel away. I arrived at their location and smirked while I listened to the gal telling her spouse off for turning out to be so daft. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this takes place all the time in Greater Manchester and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he still got his ear bent. Poor boy. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed so long and considered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I would personally never ever live it down!

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 VA 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.
