It was after seven pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, waiting around for the next telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Wherstead and filled petrol in a diesel company's Mercedes-Benz E-Class hire car. The poor lady was somewhat irritated apparently, stating "I still can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was only a short distance away from our van, we were able to find the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and much less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Suffolk done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Suffolk we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the car.

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

As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it immediately. And definitely do not start the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. If you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Wrong Fuel Assist Wherstead - Wrong Fuel in Car Wherstead

I had a terrific day hiking during my holiday and felt contented the next day as I was en route to aid a young couple holidaying in Wherstead. They'd conked out after adding the wrong fuel in their precious Mercedes Sprinter, and they were close to half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the gal telling off her spouse for being so daft. "Exactly how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this situation goes on everyday in Suffolk and that it's actually nothing at all to be anxious about, however he still got an earful by his better half. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I drained the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove down the road I waved hasta la vista and wondered what my missus would ask me if I made the same blunder... I would personally never live it down!

• 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.
