It was just before 10 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting discussing the recent footy rankings, prepared for the next call of the day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Branxton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel cream BMW Z4 M Roadster hire car in error. The poor lady was very distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we were able to arrive at her without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away contented and much less worried. Another job in Northumberland done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

In Northumberland we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the car.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And absolutely be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. If you have started the car you would in all probability need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

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.
