It was just before seven pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Brian and me were resting discussing the football results, ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso filling station in Ettersgill and filled petrol in a diesel boss' Lexus IS-F rental car in error. The poor thing was rather affected it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe spot and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we could find the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off calm and not so concerned. Yet another fuel drain in County Durham done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around County Durham we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists not knowing how to to make use of (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And definitely never crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

If perhaps you find yourself in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the technical expertise and experience to get you back on the road quickly 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 VA 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.
