It was close to ten pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not given up on raining! James and me were resting there commenting on the golf, ready for the next job for the day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Carnforth and put the wrong fuel in her diesel sombre grey Mitsubishi Outlander rental. She was rather troubled it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things often happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and not so apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Lancashire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Lancashire we have found increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the car.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it asap. And of course do not start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Call us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will take care of all kinds 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.
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.
