It was just before five pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were resting there talking over the weekend's golf rankings, prepared for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Weecar and put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic green Fiat rental car in error. She was quite agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly do happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure position and, because it was only a few miles away from us, we were able to find the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away satisfied and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Nottinghamshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Nottinghamshire we are finding more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not knowing how to work with it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And most certainly be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. If you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Contact us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to take care of every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Tuesday and I was on the way to assist an elder sweetheart who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel daughter's Jaguar S-Type in Weecar.

I got her location punched into the TomTom and was with her within an hour. I turned up at the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said, "I have been getting rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel since I'd only just got it a short while back because my previous car, which I'd owned for more than twenty five years, finally died".

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.

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.
