It was around seven pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were relaxing there talking about the rugby, waiting for the seventh job that day to come in. In due time we had a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Lobthorpe and filled petrol in her diesel khaki green Volvo740 hire car in error. She was quite troubled it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe position and, because it was only a few minutes away from us, we could reach her right away. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Lincolnshire we have noticed progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely do not crank the car - not even to move it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Phone us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct all 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 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.
