It was about 10 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not given up on raining! Brian and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's golf results, waiting for the sixth job that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Doulting and put the wrong fuel in her diesel well worn Jaguar XJ rental. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe space and, since it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away contented and less stressed. Another job in Somerset well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we have discovered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because the product is primarily deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely never start the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can attend to every type of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BA4 Postcode - Doulting Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday and we were off to help an older sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel matte black Mitsubishi Diamante in Doulting. I'd been advised she had driven away from the petrol station and was broken down along a backwater lane on the way to pay a visit to her family. I got her location punched into the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I reached the location and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing it she told me, "I'm becoming rather forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel as I'd only got it a short while ago right after my previous car, which I'd used for more than twenty five years, finally broke down". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. 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.
