It was just after 9 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing commenting on the recent football, waiting for the sixth telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Stowe and filled petrol in her diesel dirty red Mercedes-Benz Sprinter hire car by mistake. The poor thing was very agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, since it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Lincolnshire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lincolnshire we are encountering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying 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 susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most definitely be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

If you find yourself in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the specialised knowledge and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
