It was just before six pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing going over the recent golf rankings, at the ready for the seventh job of the day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Mengham and put petrol in a diesel son's Nissan Armada hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things do happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, because it was just a few miles from our van, we could reach the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed in the event that you’ve put AdBlue into your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid made from a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is actually devastating to your car's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, bringing about serious and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

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.
