It was around 9 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were relaxing talking over the golf, waiting around for the seventh call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Birstall and filled petrol in her diesel metallic red Hyundai Equus lease car. She was somewhat agitated apparently, crying "I can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things do happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected area and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from the office, we were able to find the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained so she could get back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off satisfied and not so apprehensive. Another job in Leicestershire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed in the event that you’ve poured AdBlue into your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that is made of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is actually damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the AdBlue is going to be injected into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, causing serious and costly problems 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 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.
