It was just before 7 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were resting there going over the recent golf, ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Thorneywood and put petrol in a diesel modern Hyundai hire car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty agitated it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, also that such things do happen. She was able to move the car into a secure position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from us, we were able to reach the lady swiftly.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Nottinghamshire we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it right away. And most certainly do not switch on the motor - not even to move it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

If perhaps you end up in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the technical expertise and experience to have you back on the road swiftly 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.
