It was after 10 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were resting there talking about the football results, prepared for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Hythe and put the wrong fuel in her diesel stylish Renault Modus hire car. She was quite distressed apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure space and, since it was no more than a few minutes from us, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and not so anxious. A job in Surrey done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Surrey we have noticed a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists being unsure of how to use it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

If you get in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the specialised skills and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or 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.
