It was close to 9 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Brian and I were seated there going over the weekend's football results, waiting for the seventh call to arrive. Before long we received the call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Bickerstaffe and filled petrol in a diesel light green Nissan Pathfinder lease car. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe position and, as it was just a few minutes from our van, we could get to the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed if you’ve poured AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that is made of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is definitely damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the AdBlue is going to be squirted into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, resulting in serious and costly harm to your automobile's fuel system.

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.
