It was before 7 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and me were seated commenting on the football, waiting for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the BP filling station in Shotley Gate and filled petrol in her diesel dirty red Mercedes SL-Class rental by mistake. The poor thing was fairly affected it seemed, stating "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably do happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Suffolk we are noticing progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the car.

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

As the product is primarily deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And of course don't start up the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If you have started the car you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily attend to every type of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in IP9 Postcode - Shotley Gate Misfueling

Just had a great night of sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Wednesday and I was en route to help an elder sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel bright red Mercedes-Benz Sprinter in Shotley Gate. I'd been informed she drove away from the filling station and stranded in a backwater lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and got there inside an hour. I reached the car and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "Now I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd just acquired it a week back when my previous car, which I'd owned for over twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she gave me a toffee and said thank you. Such a lovely Suffolk 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.
