It was after 9 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing there talking about the recent football rankings, waiting around for the next call of the day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Balderstone and put petrol in her diesel beloved Cadillac Allante rental in error. She was fairly agitated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, because it was just a few minutes from our van, we could find her right away. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to return to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less worried. Another misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Lancashire we have encountered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained right away. And obviously be careful not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In the event that you did start the car you may probably have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to take care of different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a bright Tuesday and we were off to assist an elder sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel bright yellow Volkswagen Jetta in Balderstone. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station and pulled up in a rural road along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour. I reached the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the work she told me, "Now I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I had only purchased it a few days ago right after my other car, which I'd used for over twenty years, eventually broke down". I got the job completed and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Lancashire 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 VA 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.
