Finally we got the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Lane End and put petrol in a diesel sunflower yellow Audi TT lease car in error. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car!

We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Herefordshire we have discovered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly don't crank the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

If you get in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the technical skills and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
