It was close to 5 pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on raining! Brian and I were resting talking about the footy, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Swinhoe and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel father's Range Rover Evoque hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat distressed it seemed, saying "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and that these things regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was only a few minutes from where we were, we were able to find the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could go home to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home calm and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in Northumberland done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Northumberland we have encountered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it right away. And certainly take care not to start up the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. If you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
