It was before 6 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring! Paul and I were seated talking over the rugby, waiting for the 8th call to come in. In due time we received a call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the BP filling garage in Chacombe and put the wrong fuel in her diesel cyan Kia Sephia rental. The poor lady was pretty distressed it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected area and, as it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to reach the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off satisfied and less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Northamptonshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Northamptonshire we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not knowing the right way to to make use of (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the car.

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

As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely don't turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In case you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

If perhaps you end up in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our experts have the specialised knowledge and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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 VAT 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.
