It was before ten pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were seated there talking over the weekend's tennis, at the ready for the 6th call to come in. Finally we had a call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Brambridge and put the wrong fuel in a diesel yellow Vauxhall Signum hire car in error. The poor thing was fairly troubled apparently, telling me "I can not believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe area and, because it was only a few miles from the office, we could reach her without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to return to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. One more job in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed in the event that you may have poured AdBlue into a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical made of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is certainly devastating to your car's fuel system, especially in cases where you run the engine with AdBlue in your tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue will undoubtedly be pushed into your fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, causing serious and costly problems to your automobile's fuel system.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

This was most definitely what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was about dawn and hardly anyone was around. It was quite dead up to now, and me and Mark were loafing around reading some old newspapers. That was an unusual calm hour in Hampshire. Actually it was in fact that calm that the instant the telephone finally rang it made me start! The motorist told me: "I have just finished my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in my grass green Mitsubishi Excel by mistake". I told him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was situated and we headed out, arriving in Brambridge under 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the motor and he thanked us profusely for showing up so promptly. While we were going back to the depot we spotted two women on the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to help them change it, to their delight.

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.
