It was around 10 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were sitting there talking over the sports, prepared for the next telephone call that day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in New Town and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel partner's Alfa Romeo Spider lease car. She was very agitated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things sadly can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing as it was just a short distance from our van, we could reach the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could return to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and much less worried. Yet another job in Dorset done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Dorset we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained right away. And most definitely take care not to turn over the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Give us a call if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct different types of AdBlue fluid 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 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.
