It was about 7 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting there commenting on the golf results, at the ready for the 8th call to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Skilling and put petrol in a diesel husband's Jeep Wrangler lease car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat irritated apparently, crying "I can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to move the car to a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and not so anxious. Another fuel drain in Dorset well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Dorset we have found a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not being aware of how to use it (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained right away. And most definitely be careful not to start the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to attend to 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.
