It was before 9 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and me were resting there going over the recent football rankings, waiting for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Long Cross and put the wrong fuel in a diesel white Cadillac STS rental by mistake. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to find the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off satisfied and less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Wiltshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Wiltshire we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In the event that you did start the car you will very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

In the event that you end up in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the practical expertise and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no 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.
