It was before seven pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! James and I were sitting talking over the recent rugby rankings, prepared for the 6th job for the day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Boarsgreave and filled petrol in a diesel precious BMW Z8 rental in error. The poor lady was rather distressed it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to find the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home satisfied and much less stressed. Another fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Lancashire we have noticed increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And definitely never start the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Give us a call if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid 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.
