It was around 6 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were relaxing there going over the sports results, ready for the next job that day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Sturgate and filled petrol in a diesel daughter's Renault Traffic rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected spot and, as it was just a short distance off from our van, we could get to the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could return to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and not so stressed. A misfuel correction in Lincolnshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Lincolnshire we have encountered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not being aware of how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As the product is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it asap. And definitely be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the car you will probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily attend to all types 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 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.
