It was just before 5 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were relaxing there talking over the rugby, ready for the 8th call of the day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Swanton Novers and put petrol in her diesel old Ford C-MAX Hybrid rental. The poor lady was fairly troubled it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly often happen. She managed to get the car into a safe area and, as it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and much less anxious. Yet another job in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Norfolk we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not being aware of how to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out immediately. And definitely be careful not to crank the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Give us a call if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will take care of different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

What a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a rainy Saturday and we were off to help an elder woman after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel black BMW 760 in Swanton Novers. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up along a backwater road en route to pay a visit to her family. I got her location punched in the Satnav and arrived inside an hour or so. I got to the location and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing it she said to me, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel since I'd just bought it a couple of days ago right after my previous car, which I owned for about twenty years, inevitably stopped working".

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.
