It was just before seven pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting there discussing the footy results, prepared for the seventh job of the day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Bay Gate and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel red Seat Altea rental in error. The poor thing was very agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance from the office, we could get to the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying in.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lancashire we have found more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers being unsure of how to use it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And absolutely never start up the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Whenever you end up in this position don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts have the practical competence and working experience to get you back on the road 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 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.
