It was just before 5 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and me were relaxing there commenting on the recent footy, waiting around for the 6th call for the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Bucks Hill and filled petrol in a diesel metallic yellow Mercedes Sprinter 2500 rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was very affected it seemed, stating "I can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected area and, because it was just a short distance away from us, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away satisfied and less worried. Another job in Hertfordshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!

We're able to get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill the car. They are also able to fix the normal problems that could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hertfordshire we have found an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not being totally sure how to work with it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And absolutely don't switch on the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Give us a call if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to different types 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.
