It was close to 10 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were sitting there going over the weekend's tennis rankings, prepared for the 8th job of the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Harriseahead and put the wrong fuel in her diesel brother's Peugeot 407 lease car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to find her quickly.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Staffordshire we are discovering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the car.

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

Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

A woman had stopped on a street, Harriseahead just after having misfueled. She was in tears and really distressed as she had put £42 petrol in her diesel car.

I had enjoyed a perfect evening hiking during the weekend and was feeling satisfied the next morning as I was en route to help a young family on holiday in Harriseahead. They stopped after inserting petrol into their racing green Ford Galaxie, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I showed up at their car and laughed as I heard to the lady telling off her hubby for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this problem happens everyday in Staffordshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he still got an earful by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyways, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed so long and wondered what her indoors would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.

• 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.
