It was after 8 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were sitting going over the recent sports results, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Before long we got the call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Barkway and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel gorgeous Porsche Carrera GT lease car. The unfortunate thing was quite agitated it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was only a few miles from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The bad fuel was removed and she could get back to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away contented and a lot less anxious. A fuel drain in Hertfordshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Hertfordshire we have identified increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people being unsure of the right way to use it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly never turn over the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Phone us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

I got her location plugged into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the car and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "I'm becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had only acquired it several days ago after my former car, which I had had for more than 30 years, eventually gave up the ghost".

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.
