It was close to eight pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting there going over the recent sports rankings, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Hey and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Ferarri red Mercedes-Benz C-Class hire car in error. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to get the car into a secure area and, because it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we could reach her without delay. The bad fuel was drained so she could return to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and less apprehensive. A job in Lancashire done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Lancashire we are discovering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And of course be careful not to switch on the car - not even to move it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

If you end up in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the specialised knowledge and experience to get you back on your way 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.
