It was close to seven pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting there talking about the footy results, prepared for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Weacombe and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel matte black Fiat Uno lease car by mistake. She was very agitated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was only a short distance from where we were, we could reach the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off relaxed and much less concerned. A misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Somerset we have identified a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it asap. And absolutely never crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

In case you end up in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the technical knowledge and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

I finished the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a delightful 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.
