It was around 5 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting there going over the weekend's sports rankings, prepared for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Cumnor and put petrol in her diesel green Volkswagen Beetle rental car by mistake. She was pretty irritated it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the car to a secure position and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from our van, we could reach the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Oxfordshire we have identified more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it right away. And absolutely never start up the car - not even to move it to a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you may probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

In case you get in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the practical knowledge and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
