It was just after 6 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were seated there commenting on the recent footy results, ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Buckworth and put the wrong fuel in her diesel expensive Volvo V70 hire car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things often happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and a lot less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Cambridgeshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Cambridgeshire we have noticed an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And of course be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Should you end up in this predicament don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the specialised expertise and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.

  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.
