It was around ten pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were sitting talking about the sports rankings, waiting for the next call for the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Cold Ashton and put petrol in a diesel light blue VW Eos hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed 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 just advised her to relax and not to worry, also that these things happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, because it was no more than a few miles from our van, we were able to get to her rather quickly.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we have discovered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And of course take care not to switch on the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct all types of AdBlue 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.
