It was around 5 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were resting talking over the weekend's footy, prepared for the 6th call that day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Ocle Pychard and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel modern Saab 9-5 rental by mistake. She was somewhat affected apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately happen.

AdBlue Contamination

In Herefordshire we are finding progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to drivers not knowing the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely don't start the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. In case you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Wrong Fuel Assist Ocle Pychard - Wrong Fuel in Car Ocle Pychard

I had appreciated a great day hiking on my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the next day as I was en route to aid a young family who were on holiday in Ocle Pychard. They had pulled over after filling diesel in their pristine Mercedes Sprinter 2500, and they were close to half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and laughed while I heard to the gal chastising her partner for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs on daily basis in Herefordshire and that it's nothing to get worried about, even so he all the same had an earful by his wife. Unlucky boy. In any case, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. As they drove away I waved good bye and pondered on what my wife would say to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would never hear the end of it!

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.
