It was before 9 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were relaxing there going over the tennis results, ready for the next call for the day to come in. Before long we had a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Stembridge and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Ferarri red Ford C-MAX Hybrid lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite irritated apparently, crying "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected area and, as it was just a short distance from our van, we could get to the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away satisfied and much less concerned. A misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Somerset we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it asap. And most definitely be careful not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. Assuming you have started the car you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix every type of AdBlue 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.
