It was just before 9 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were relaxing there talking about the golf, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Clayton and put petrol in her diesel creamy white Mazda B2500 hire car in error. She was somewhat troubled apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure position and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from our van, we were able to reach the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away calm and much less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in West Sussex done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout West Sussex we are encountering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

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

Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And certainly don't crank the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

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.
