It was after 7 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not given up on pouring! Paul and me were relaxing talking over the recent footy, waiting for the 6th job to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Stagbatch and put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic silver Daewoo Nubira lease car in error. The poor thing was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, and that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was just a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and much less anxious. Yet another job in Herefordshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Herefordshire we have identified a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the car.

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

As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it right away. And absolutely never turn over the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue 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.
