It was close to eight pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated there discussing the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the 6th call of the day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Gubbions Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel cobalt blue Mazda B2000 hire car by mistake. The poor lady was quite irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure spot and, as it was only a short distance from the office, we could reach the woman quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could return to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and less concerned. One more job in Essex well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you can do in case you’ve put AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution made out of a mix of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is certainly devastating to your automobile's fuel system, specifically any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the AdBlue is going to be dragged into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, leading to devastating and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Any time you end up in this position don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the specialised skills and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Saturday and we were on the way to assist an elder sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel dad's Fiat Doblo in Gubbions Green. I'd been advised she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her family. I got her location punched into the Satnav and got there inside an hour. I got to the car and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said, "Now I'm becoming quite forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel because I'd just bought it a week back because my other car, which I'd owned for about 25 years, finally died". I got the drain completed and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Essex lady!

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.
