It was just before seven pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing going over the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting for the 8th fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Sandridge and filled petrol in her diesel metallic yellow Mazda B-Series Plus hire car in error. The poor lady was rather agitated apparently, crying "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to get the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from the office, we could arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. Another misfuel correction in Hertfordshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Hertfordshire we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly take care not to start up the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

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.
