It was before 5 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and me were seated talking over the recent footy results, prepared for the 8th call for the day to come in. Before long we got the call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Wilmcote and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel racing green Honda CR-V rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather distressed it seemed, crying "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle!

They can also deal with the common issues which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Warwickshire we have found a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously never start up the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking area. In case you did start the car you may probably have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

This was most definitely the graveyard shift. It was about 3 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It was fairly quiet so far, and John and I were relaxing looking through a number of old magazines. That was an unusual restful hour in Warwickshire. It was in fact that peaceful that the moment the telephone ultimately rang it made me jump! The voice told me: "I just finished my night shift and incredibly filled petrol in a well worn Mitsubishi Chariot in error". We told him to inform us where the vehicle was and we hit the road, getting to him in Wilmcote not as much as 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the car and he said many thanks for showing up so quickly. While we were heading back to the office we spotted two young ladies on the side of the street who looked like they suffered a puncture. So we pulled over to help them change it, much to their delight.

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.
