It was before 7 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and me were sitting talking over the recent tennis rankings, prepared for the 8th call to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Normandy and put petrol in her diesel metallic grey Citron lease car in error. She was somewhat distressed apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, because it was only a few miles from our van, we were able to find her right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and a lot less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Surrey well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel
In Surrey we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of people not being totally sure how to to make use of (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the car.
Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?
Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And of course take care not to crank the motor - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.
Contact us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

The other day a young man telephoned us when his husband's VW Eurovan ground to a halt along a street in Normandy. He had by accident put unleaded in his diesel car and was only able to drive to the road before having to halt. It was actually early in the morning and our engineer, who resides locally, got to him in about 20 minutes. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put clean diesel back into the vehicle. "Genuine thanks to you for your immediate response, especially at 3 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."

It truly was what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was around sunrise and almost noone was about. It had become pretty quiet so far, and Paul and I were relaxing looking at a couple of old papers. That was an uncommon peaceful hour in Surrey. It was so peaceful that the instant the telephone eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist on the phone stated: "I have finished my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in a cobalt blue Land Rover Defender 110 by mistake". I got him to let us know exactly where the vehicle was located and we hit the road, reaching him in Normandy 30 minutes later. The fuel was removed from the motor and he said thank you for coming out so quickly. While we were returning home we noticed two young ladies at the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. Obviously we stopped to help them change it, to their elation.

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.

- A lot of smoke (more than usual)
- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.
