It was after ten pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry evening, it had not given up on raining! James and I were relaxing talking about the recent tennis rankings, prepared for the sixth job of the day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Chesterton and put petrol in her diesel modified Land Rover Defender 110 rental car in error. The poor thing was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, and that such things regrettably happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, since it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to find her right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and not so worried. Another job in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Gloucestershire we have found more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

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.
