She was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle!

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can empty it.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not understanding the way to use it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it asap. And of course take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you may probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Phone us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to all types of AdBlue contamination.

It truly was what we call an unsociable time to be awake. It was around sunrise and noone was around. It had been rather dead until now, and Mark and I were sitting around perusing some old articles.

The voice said: "I've concluded my overnight shift and foolishly filled petrol in a rugged Chevrolet Caprice in error". I asked him to inform us exactly where he was situated and we left, reaching him in Podsmead 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the engine. He thanked us for coming out so promptly.

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.
