It was just after 9 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were relaxing there talking over the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the next job of the day to come in. Finally we had the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling station in West Hagley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel maroon BMW 330 rental car by mistake. She was rather agitated apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from our van, we could arrive at her swiftly. The bad fuel was removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and much less stressed. One more job in Worcestershire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Worcestershire we are discovering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the car.

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

Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained asap. And absolutely take care not to start the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

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.
