It was before five pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were resting talking over the football rankings, prepared for the next fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol station in Compton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel matte black Audi A6 lease car. She was quite irritated it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this can happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, as it was only a short distance away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Staffordshire we have noticed a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists being unsure of how to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the technical competence and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
