It was around 7 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting talking about the recent sports rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Goosnargh and put petrol in a diesel burgundy red Volkswagen Touareg 2 rental. She was very troubled apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we could get to the woman quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off relaxed and not so anxious. One more misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

How to proceed in the event that you’ve poured AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that is made from a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is actually harmful to your car's fuel system, specifically in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started the AdBlue will be injected into the fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

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.
