Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Northamptonshire we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not being aware of how to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And most definitely take care not to start the engine - not even to move it to a parking bay. In case you have started the vehicle you will likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

The car was spluttering and then it died when she arrived at the entrance of her office.

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.
