It was around 10 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were resting there talking over the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting for the 6th telephone call to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in St Lawrence and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel precious Audi V8 hire car in error. She was somewhat distressed apparently, saying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected spot and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from our van, we could find the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could return to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and a lot less worried. One more fuel drain in Essex well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Essex we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from people not understanding how to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most definitely don't crank the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

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.
