It was just after ten pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's tennis rankings, ready for the next job for the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Elton on the Hill and put petrol in a diesel cyan Honda Prelude lease car. She was quite agitated it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this often happen. She managed to get the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was only a short distance from the office, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly.

One more fuel drain in Nottinghamshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Nottinghamshire we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at once. And definitely be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In cases where you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle every type of AdBlue liquid 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.
