It was after 9 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were resting going over the footy rankings, ready for the next fuel drain to come in. Eventually we got a call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Burntwood Green and filled petrol in her diesel friend's BMW X3 rental by mistake. She was pretty agitated it seemed, stating "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure position and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we were able to arrive at her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home satisfied and much less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Staffordshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Staffordshire we are noticing increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained asap. And most certainly do not turn over the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you would likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

In the event that you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the practical knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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 VAT 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.
