It was just after five pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were seated discussing the football, at the ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in East Stratton and put petrol in a diesel matte black Toyota Corolla hire car in error. She was very agitated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, because it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to reach the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away calm and less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Hampshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hampshire we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers not understanding how to to make use of (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously be careful not to start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking area. Assuming you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Contact us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle all kinds of AdBlue liquid 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.
