It was close to 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! Brian and I were resting there talking over the recent sports, waiting around for the sixth job that day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the BP filling garage in Wycomb and put the wrong fuel in her diesel aunt's Cadillac DTS lease car by mistake. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car!

We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately can happen.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Leicestershire we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained right away. And definitely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking spot. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to different types of AdBlue liquid 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 VAT 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.
