It was before 8 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were sitting there commenting on the weekend's golf results, ready for the seventh job to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the BP petrol station in London and put the wrong fuel in a diesel apricot Cadillac Escalade ESV lease car by mistake. The poor lady was pretty affected apparently, crying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, as it was just a few minutes from our van, we could find the lady without delay. The bad fuel was removed so she could go home to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and less worried. Another misfuel correction in Lewisham done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Lewisham we have encountered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the car.

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

Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly don't start the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Give us a call if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to all kinds 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.
