It was just before 6 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated talking over the recent golf rankings, waiting for the 6th call to arrive. Finally we received a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Filchampstead and put petrol in a diesel precious Ford Ranger lease car. The unfortunate lady was very distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this can happen.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Oxfordshire we are discovering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at once. And certainly never start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

In the event that you find yourself in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the specialised skills and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
