It was close to eight pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and I were seated commenting on the recent tennis results, waiting for the sixth call for the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in East Combe and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic blue Austin Mini rental car in error. She was somewhat troubled apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things do happen. She managed to get the car to a protected space and, since it was just a few miles from our van, we could reach the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Somerset we are identifying increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not knowing how to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And certainly do not start up the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Should you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the practical know-how and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
