It was close to 9 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were relaxing going over the weekend's football results, at the ready for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Southwood and put the wrong fuel in her diesel racing green Seat Altea rental by mistake. She was rather irritated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure area and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to reach the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away calm and less stressed. Another fuel drain in Worcestershire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Worcestershire we have found a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely never switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In cases where you did start the car you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Phone us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix all types of AdBlue contamination.

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.
