It was about 8 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were sitting there talking over the recent sports rankings, waiting for the next call that day to come in. Finally we got the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Bainton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel matte black Honda Prelude rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly distressed apparently, saying "I cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from the office, we were able to arrive at her swiftly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away contented and not so anxious. Yet another job in Oxfordshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Oxfordshire we have found a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely take care not to switch on the engine - not even to move it into a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

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.
