It was before 10 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's rugby rankings, ready for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Hall Green and put petrol in a diesel bright yellow Mitsubishi 3000GT hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was just a few miles from our van, we could reach the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and not so concerned. Another job in Essex well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Essex we have found a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it asap. And certainly take care not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

If you get in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the specialised know-how and experience to have you back on the road rapidly 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 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.
