It was close to eight pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not given up on raining! Brian and I were resting there talking about the weekend's footy results, ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Sidcot and filled petrol in a diesel matte black Suzuki Swift lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things often happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure position and, as it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from people not understanding the right way to use it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

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

As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously don't start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In case you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct different types of AdBlue fluid 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.
