It was around six pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not ceased raining! Ray and me were resting talking about the weekend's sports results, waiting for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Cromer and filled petrol in a diesel khaki green Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 hire car by mistake. The poor lady was quite irritated it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe space and, as it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could find the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing in. Although we got really wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and much less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Hertfordshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it if you may have put AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that is made out of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is actually devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly in cases where you run the engine with AdBlue in the tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the AdBlue is going to be dragged into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in serious and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

Call us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle 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.
