It was close to 5 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were seated there talking over the tennis, ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Hill Dale and filled petrol in a diesel red VW Tiguan rental car. She was quite affected apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to reach the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away relaxed and much less anxious. Yet another job in Lancashire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Lancashire we are finding a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And obviously be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

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.
