It was around 6 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were relaxing there going over the golf rankings, prepared for the next fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Childwall and put the wrong fuel in a diesel modern Land Rover Freelander rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather irritated it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure space and, as it was no more than a short distance from us, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could return to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off contented and not so anxious. Another fuel drain in Merseyside done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed if you have put AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s made of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is certainly harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you started the car with AdBlue in the tank. Once the engine has been started the AdBlue is going to be squirted into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Contact us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of different 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 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.
