It was after 6 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the 8th call to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Halton Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel cream Seat Exeo rental car in error. The poor lady was very troubled apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could get to the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and much less anxious. One more job in Lancashire well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Lancashire we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out immediately. And most certainly be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

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.
