It was around 5 pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were sitting talking about the recent rugby results, at the ready for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Pucknall and put petrol in her diesel well worn Hyundai Excel lease car by mistake. The poor thing was rather troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure spot and, as it was only a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the lady right away. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home relaxed and less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Hampshire we are identifying a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it right away. And most definitely take care not to start the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel 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.
