It was close to 6 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not ceased raining! Mark and me were sitting talking about the golf, prepared for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Brandon and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel sunflower yellow Kia Carens rental by mistake. She was quite agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things do happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe spot and, because it was just a short distance off from our van, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. Another job in Suffolk well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Suffolk we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And absolutely don't switch on the motor - not even to shift it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Phone us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in IP27 Postcode - Brandon Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a bright Sunday and I was on my way to assist an elder sweetheart who put the wrong fuel in her diesel creamy white Volvo V90 in Brandon. I had been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded along a rural road on the way to visit her family. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and was with her within an hour. I got to the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was working she explained, "Now I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I'd only just purchased it several days ago because my other car, which I had owned for about 30 years, eventually died on me". I got the drain done and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful Suffolk lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Brandon - Wrong Fuel in Car Brandon

I'd had a great evening golfing on my off day and was feeling contented the following day as I headed out to aid a new family who were holidaying in Brandon. They pulled over after adding diesel into their raspberry red Audi Allroad, and the car was close to half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their location and laughed while I heard to the woman telling her husband off for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you even manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this situation comes to pass everyday in Suffolk and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he yet still had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor chap. Anyways, I drained out the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted hasta la vista and considered what my wife would tell me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would never live it down!

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.
