It was about eight pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were relaxing there commenting on the sports, at the ready for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Wintershill and put petrol in a diesel brand new Mercedes-Benz SL-Class hire car. The unfortunate lady was fairly affected apparently, saying "I can not believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing that it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and less concerned. A job in Hampshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Hampshire we have discovered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained asap. And obviously never turn over the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix every type of AdBlue 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.
