It was just after 7 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were resting discussing the footy, ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Huntington and put petrol in her diesel classic BMW X6 rental car by mistake. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to get the car to a protected area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from our van, we could reach the lady almost instantly.

AdBlue Contamination

In Staffordshire we are discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If you did start the car you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Give us a call if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct 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.
