It was just after 9 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry night, it had not given up on raining! Dan and me were sitting going over the weekend's golf results, waiting for the next telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we had the call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Colworth Ho and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel work's Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class rental car in error. She was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, also that these things sadly often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, because it was only a short distance away from us, we could arrive at the lady without delay. The bad fuel was extracted so she could return to the motel she was living in. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less anxious. Yet another job in Bedfordshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do in the event that you may have put AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is definitely damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in your fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue will undoubtedly be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, causing catastrophic and expensive harm to your car's fuel system.

I enjoyed a great day golfing during my day off and felt pleased the next day as I was on the way to help a young family who were on vacation in Colworth Ho. They had conked out after inserting diesel in their burgundy red Mercedes Sprinter, and they were around an hour away. I arrived at their location and laughed as I listened to the lady chastising her man for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing happens everyday in Bedfordshire and that it's really nothing at all to worry about, and yet he all the same got an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I drained out all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and wondered what my wife would ask me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!

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.
