It was just after eight pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's sports results, waiting around for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Locksbrook and filled petrol in her diesel clean white Vauxhall Meriva lease car by mistake. She was very agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this do happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we could get to the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home relaxed and much less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Somerset well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel
All around Somerset we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the car.
Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car?
As the product is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at once. And certainly never start the engine - not even to move it to a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.
Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Wednesday and we were en route to help an elder sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel matte black Fiat Ulysse in Locksbrook. I had been informed she drove away from the petrol station and was stranded on a rural lane on the way to visit her family. I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour. I arrived at the destination and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was working she explained, "Now I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel seeing that I'd only just got it a few days back right after my former car, which I had used for about twenty five years, finally died on me". I got the drain done and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Somerset lady!

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
