It was just before five pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Mark and I were sitting talking over the recent tennis, waiting for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Whiston Cross and filled petrol in a diesel shiny Vauxhall Movano rental car. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to arrive at her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

In Shropshire we have identified a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

As the product is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely never start up the engine - not even to shift it to a parking area. In the event that you have started the car you would most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel 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.
