It was before 9 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were relaxing discussing the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the 8th telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Corbriggs and put petrol in a diesel mustard yellow Suzuki Sidekick rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, as it was only a short distance away from our van, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away satisfied and much less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Derbyshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Corbriggs (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up the car. They are also able to take care of the normal problems which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Derbyshire we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists not knowing how to work with it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely never start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you may likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Phone us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
