It was about ten pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were sitting there commenting on the footy, prepared for the next job of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Westlands and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel mate's Toyota Land Cruiser hire car by mistake. She was very agitated apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure area and, because it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Staffordshire we are discovering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And certainly do not start up the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Call us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct every type of AdBlue 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.
  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.
