It was around seven pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and me were sitting there commenting on the weekend's golf, waiting for the 8th job for the day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Laverley and put the wrong fuel in a diesel deep grey Toyota Camry hire car. The unfortunate lady was pretty affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to find the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and not so stressed. Another job in Somerset well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we are identifying a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it immediately. And absolutely be careful not to crank the car - not even to move it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you would probably need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

If you get in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the technical competence and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BA6 Postcode - Laverley Misfueling

Just had a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Saturday and I was en route to help an elder sweetheart after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel aunt's Jeep Commander in Laverley. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was broken down along a backwater lane en route to visit her family. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and got there in less than 60 minutes. I got to the destination and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "Now I'm becoming quite forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car working with diesel as I had only just got it a couple of days back right after my former car, which I'd owned for in excess of 30 years, inevitably stopped working". I finished the drain and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely Somerset woman!

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.
