It was about eight pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated there going over the recent footy, waiting around for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in White Roothing and put petrol in a diesel dark blue Cadillac Seville hire car. The poor thing was very agitated it seemed, crying "I just can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!"

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Essex we have identified a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely don't start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you did start the car you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Should you discover yourself to be in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the practical knowledge and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
