It was close to 5 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were resting commenting on the recent football, at the ready for the sixth job to arrive. Before long we received the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in New Cross Gate and put petrol in her diesel metallic silver Mitsubishi Outlander lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things often happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away contented and a lot less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Lewisham well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Lewisham we have encountered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out immediately. And obviously be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

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.
