It was about 9 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and me were resting going over the weekend's football rankings, prepared for the next call for the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Fleet and filled petrol in a diesel mint condition Mercedes M-Class hire car in error. The poor lady was pretty agitated it seemed, stating "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe space and, because it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could return to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and less concerned. A misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hampshire we have found a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the car.

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

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not start the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking area. In case you did start the vehicle you will probably have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle all types 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.
