It was after 9 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were resting commenting on the weekend's sports, ready for the next job that day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Cross Keys and filled petrol in a diesel silver Audi Allroad rental in error. She was rather distressed it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe area and, as it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Herefordshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Herefordshire we have encountered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not being aware of the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the vehicle.

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

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And certainly take care not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Call us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix all kinds 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.
