It was just before seven pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's tennis rankings, ready for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Letton and put petrol in her diesel rust red Mercedes CLK-Class rental by mistake. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from us, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying in.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Herefordshire we have seen increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people being unsure of the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since the product is primarily ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And absolutely do not start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

If perhaps you end up in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the specialised knowledge and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
