It was close to ten pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were resting there going over the recent sports rankings, waiting around for the 6th job that day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Abbas Combe and put the wrong fuel in a diesel green Cadillac Escalade ESV hire car. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things often happen.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do if you’ve put AdBlue in a Diesel tank?

As I was working she told me, "I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I had only just purchased it a couple of days back after my previous one, which I'd had for about twenty years, finally stopped working".

I enjoyed a fantastic evening fishing on my off day and felt delighted with myself the next morning as I headed out to aid a young family away in Abbas Combe. They'd stopped after inserting diesel into their sunflower yellow BMW, and they were around an hour away. I showed up at their location and smiled as I heard to the girl telling off her partner for being so stupid. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this goes on on daily basis in Somerset and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, and yet he all the same had his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. At any rate, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some right 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.
