It was about seven pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were seated there discussing the weekend's sports rankings, at the ready for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Bury Hollow and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel apricot VW Jetta rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty agitated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to get to the lady fairly quickly.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over West Sussex we have encountered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely do not crank the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In case you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

In case you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the specialised competence and experience to get you back on the road rapidly 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.
