It was after 6 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were seated going over the recent tennis rankings, at the ready for the sixth job that day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Bratton and filled petrol in a diesel boss' Hyundai Genesis Coupe rental car by mistake. She was fairly irritated apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected position and, since it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could reach the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying at.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we have identified progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to people not understanding the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your 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 get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking place. In the instance that you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

I had a great evening hiking on my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the next day as I set out to aid a young couple who were vacationing in Bratton. They pulled over after filling petrol into their elegant Peugeot 106, and the car was about half an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the gal telling her man off for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this goes on on a regular basis in Somerset and that it's in reality nothing at all to be concerned about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his missus.

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.
