It was around 6 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were relaxing discussing the recent footy results, waiting for the 6th call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in The Folly and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel bright white Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG lease car. The poor lady was somewhat distressed apparently, crying "I can not believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected position and, as it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and much less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you should do if you’ve put AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s made out of a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It can be harmful to your car's fuel system, specifically any time you started the car with AdBlue in the fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the AdBlue will be injected into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, resulting in devastating and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

Any time you find yourself in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the practical knowledge and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no 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.
