It was close to 5 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated there going over the recent sports rankings, prepared for the next telephone call to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the BP petrol station in Wrington and put petrol in her diesel mint condition Land Rover Defender 90 rental by mistake. She was pretty affected apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things often happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe space and, because it was just a few minutes away from our van, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away satisfied and less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are noticing more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly never start up the car - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

If perhaps you get in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the specialised expertise and experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
