It was about 8 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting there going over the weekend's football results, ready for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Worthing and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel compact Land Rover rental car by mistake. The poor thing was very troubled apparently, saying "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected position and, as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we could get to the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and less stressed. One more fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Norfolk we have seen more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

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

Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at once. And absolutely be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. If you have started the car you may likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in NR20 Postcode - Worthing Misfueling

Just had a good night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Saturday and I was on the way to assist an old woman after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel classic Daewoo Leganza in Worthing. I had been advised she had left the petrol station and pulled up in a rural lane on the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I punched the location in the TomTom and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. As I was doing the drain she explained, "I'm getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel because I'd just bought it a few days back after my former car, which I'd owned for more than thirty years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a lovely Norfolk lady!

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.

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.
