It was just after seven pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were relaxing commenting on the recent sports rankings, waiting around for the 8th job that day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Lower Highmoor and put the wrong fuel in a diesel silver Mazda B2600 lease car. The unfortunate thing was very affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing as it was only a few miles from us, we could get to the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging in.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Oxfordshire we are noticing progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to people not knowing the right way to use it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the vehicle.

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

Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And definitely take care not to start the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If you have started the car you would in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Any time you end up in this scenario don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the specialised competence and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly 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.

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.
