It was before 9 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry night, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and me were seated there going over the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the 6th call for the day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Puttocks End and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel shiny Ford Ranger lease car. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to get the car to a secure spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and a lot less anxious. One more job in Essex done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do in case you have poured AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that is made out of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is definitely devastating to your automobile's fuel system, particularly if you started the car with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue is going to be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

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.
