It was just before 9 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting discussing the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in Blackburn and put the wrong fuel in a diesel raspberry red Renault Scenic lease car in error. The poor thing was pretty troubled apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe position and, because it was no more than a few miles off from us, we could arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Lancashire we have discovered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not knowing how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it right away. And most certainly be careful not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid 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.
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.
