James and me were resting there going over the weekend's football, waiting around for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Cotesbach and put the wrong fuel in a diesel sunflower yellow Austin Mini Cooper S rental car. The unfortunate lady was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things happen.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Leicestershire we have discovered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And definitely be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

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.

• 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 VAT receipt.
