It was just after eight pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting discussing the weekend's football, prepared for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Mark Cross and filled petrol in a diesel super Hyundai Accent rental car by mistake. The poor thing was very irritated apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected position and, because it was just a few miles off from the office, we could get to the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and not so stressed. Another job in East Sussex done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over East Sussex we have found more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists not knowing how to work with it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at once. And obviously don't crank the car - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle every type of AdBlue contamination.

This was what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was about sunrise and nobody was around. It was fairly quiet until now, and me and Paul were loafing around looking through a few old articles. This was a rare tranquil hour in East Sussex. It was so tranquil that the instant the phone ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist on the opposite end stated: "I only just completed my overnight shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in the luxury Hyundai Excel". I asked him to inform us just where he was and we left, arriving in Mark Cross only an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the motor. He thanked us for showing up so fast. As we were returning home we noticed two women on the side of the highway who seemed like they had a flat. As a result we stopped to change it, to their elation.

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.
