It was after ten pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's sports rankings, waiting around for the sixth telephone call to come in. In due time we got a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in North Stoke and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel partner's Porsche 911 rental car by mistake. She was very irritated it seemed, saying "I can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a protected position and, since it was only a few miles off from us, we were able to arrive at the lady quickly.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In West Sussex we have discovered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it right away. And of course never switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

If you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the specialised expertise and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
