It was just before 10 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were resting there talking over the tennis results, at the ready for the 6th job of the day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Kensington and put the wrong fuel in her diesel light green Volkswagen Jetta III hire car by mistake. The poor thing was very agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure space and, as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to get to the lady quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Merseyside well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Merseyside we have encountered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to people not understanding the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

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

Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely never crank the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

This was certainly what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was around 3 in the morning and almost noone was around. It had become pretty quiet so far, and me and Paul were relaxing reading through a few old magazines. This was an uncommon peaceful hour in Merseyside. It was in fact that tranquil that when the telephone rang it made me start! The person on the phone stated: "I have just concluded my evening shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in the diesel brother's Kia Sorento". We told him to tell us just where he was and we set off, ending up in Kensington under an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the motor. He said many thanks for arriving so fast.

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.
