It was around 7 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were sitting there discussing the golf rankings, prepared for the next call for the day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Tarpots and put petrol in her diesel compact Honda Accord hire car by mistake. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected space and, because it was just a few miles away from us, we were able to get to her right away. The bad fuel was taken out so she could go home to the motel she was residing at.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Essex we have identified a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And of course don't switch on the car - not even to move it to a parking place. In case you have started the car you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Call us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
