It was around five pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing commenting on the recent tennis rankings, ready for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the BP filling station in Monkland and filled petrol in a diesel sombre grey Lexus hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately do happen.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Herefordshire we are finding progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And of course don't turn over the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

In case you find yourself in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the technical know-how and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a bright Wednesday and I was on the way to assist an elder lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel company's Chrysler PT Cruiser in Monkland.

I got to the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the drain she told me, "I have been becoming fairly absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel because I had only acquired it a short while ago right after my old car, which I'd used for about 25 years, finally gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant Herefordshire woman!

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.
