It was just before ten pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and me were relaxing talking about the recent rugby rankings, waiting around for the 6th call of the day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Donington le Heath and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel luxury Cadillac Escalade lease car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly happen. She managed to move the car to a secure space and, since it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Leicestershire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Leicestershire we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most definitely take care not to crank the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Phone us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will take care of all kinds of AdBlue 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.
