It was after 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and me were sitting there commenting on the weekend's footy results, ready for the 8th call that day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Cuckoo Tye and filled petrol in a diesel cobalt blue Land Rover hire car. The poor lady was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, since it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to find the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away relaxed and much less anxious. One more job in Suffolk done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Suffolk we are encountering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it immediately. And definitely don't crank the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Call us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid 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.
