It was about 10 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing commenting on the rugby results, waiting around for the next telephone call to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Appley Bridge and put petrol in a diesel apricot BMW 745 hire car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated apparently, stating "I can not believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe area and, because it was only a few miles away from where we were, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and not so apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Lancashire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Lancashire we have seen increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained right away. And absolutely don't start up the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you may very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix 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 VA 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.
