It was just after 10 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Dan and me were sitting discussing the recent football, prepared for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Shipdham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel beloved Chevrolet Corsica rental by mistake. She was fairly troubled it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe area and, because it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away calm and less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel
In Norfolk we are finding a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not being aware of the right way to use it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the car.
Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?
Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly never turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.
Call us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
