It was around eight pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were sitting talking over the tennis rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call for the day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Bicknoller and filled petrol in a diesel shiny Audi hire car in error. She was fairly affected by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that these things often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was drained so she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and less concerned. Another fuel drain in Somerset well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we have noticed increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at once. And obviously don't start the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix all types of AdBlue fluid 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 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.
