It was just before 10 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting talking over the weekend's rugby results, ready for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Belluton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel faithful BMW 6 Series lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty agitated apparently, saying "I just can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably can happen. She managed to move the car into a secure area and, because it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to find the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and a lot less anxious. Another fuel drain in Somerset done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we are finding a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists being unsure of the way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And definitely don't start the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct all kinds of AdBlue 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 VA 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.
