It was just before seven pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and me were relaxing there going over the weekend's footy, waiting around for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in New Buckenham and filled petrol in her diesel sunflower yellow Audi A5 hire car in error. The poor lady was rather affected apparently, stating "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, since it was only a short distance away from our van, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could return to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got really wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away calm and much less anxious.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Norfolk we are noticing more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not knowing the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely do not start up the car - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

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.
