It was around seven pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing talking about the rugby results, waiting around for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Stoneyard Green and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel company's BMW Z4 M Roadster rental in error. She was fairly agitated apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this can happen. She managed to get the car into a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to reach the lady swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and not so anxious. A fuel drain in Herefordshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Herefordshire we have discovered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And certainly take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking bay. If you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

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.
