It was close to six pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing going over the recent rugby results, at the ready for the 6th call of the day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Potters Bar and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel cyan BMW 545 hire car. She was pretty troubled apparently, stating "I can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things can happen. She managed to get the car to a protected space and, because it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home satisfied and less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Hertfordshire well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

In Hertfordshire we have seen increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And obviously never switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

If you find yourself in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the technical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
