It was after eight pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring! James and me were seated discussing the golf results, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Meath Green and filled petrol in her diesel deep grey Cadillac CTS hire car in error. She was quite distressed apparently, stating "I can not believe I have destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably can happen. She managed to get the car to a protected spot and, as it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to reach the woman swiftly.

AdBlue Contamination

What to do in the event that you may have put AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical made out of a mix of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue tends to be disastrous to your car's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your tank. Once the engine has been switched on the AdBlue is going to be pulled into the fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

This was exactly what is called the graveyard shift. It was around dawn and hardly anyone was around. It had been pretty quiet so far, and John and I were sitting about looking through several old papers. That was a rare tranquil time in Surrey. It was so calm that the instant the telephone finally rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist explained: "I have only just finished my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in the pristine Hyundai Genesis by mistake". I instructed him to let us know just where he was situated and we set off, arriving in Meath Green no more than 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the motor. He thanked us for coming so rapidly. While we were returning to the office we spotted two young women on the side of the highway who looked like they had a puncture. As a result we pulled over to help them change it, much to their elation.

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.
