It was close to six pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not given up on raining! Paul and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's tennis, at the ready for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we got the call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Sharpstone and put the wrong fuel in a diesel company's Toyota Highlander hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat troubled apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to get the car to a safe space and, since it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away calm and less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Somerset we are noticing a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Contact us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Tuesday and I was off to assist an old lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel mum's Land Rover Defender 90 in Sharpstone. I had been advised she had left the petrol station forecourt and pulled up on a country lane en route to visit her godchildren. I got the location punched into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour. I got to the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was working she said, "I am getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel because I had just got it a few days ago when my former one, which I owned for more than thirty years, finally stopped working". I got the job done and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Somerset woman!

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.
