It was close to 10 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! James and me were relaxing commenting on the recent rugby results, waiting for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Minstead and put the wrong fuel in her diesel black Kia Spectra5 lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the car into a secure area and, seeing that it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach her right away. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home relaxed and less concerned. Yet another job in Hampshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Hampshire we have discovered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists not being aware of how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And obviously never switch on the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Phone us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Minstead - Wrong Fuel in Car Minstead

I had appreciated a perfect evening cycling on the weekend and felt pleased with myself the next morning as I headed out to assist a young family who were away in Minstead. They had conked out after adding petrol in their expensive Toyota Highlander Hybrid, and they were close to half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the lady telling her husband off for being so foolish. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing takes place on daily basis in Hampshire and that it's nothing to be anxious about, even so he still got an earful by his missus. Unfortunate boy. Anyways, I drained the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. Watching as they drove off I shouted good bye and wondered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the same error... I would personally never 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 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.
