It was just after seven pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting commenting on the recent tennis rankings, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Porth-y-waen and put petrol in her diesel buff Honda Civic GX rental in error. The poor thing was somewhat troubled it seemed, crying "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from the office, we could find the lady without delay. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home satisfied and much less apprehensive. Another job in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Shropshire we are noticing an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not understanding the way to work with it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at once. And of course don't start up the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the car you would very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Contact us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
