It was close to eight pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it had not given up on pouring! Ray and I were relaxing there talking over the rugby rankings, prepared for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Low Leighton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic green Toyota FJ Cruiser rental by mistake. The poor lady was very troubled it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from where we were, we could find the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could get back to the motel she was staying at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and much less anxious. One more job in Derbyshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Derbyshire we are finding progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it asap. And most certainly take care not to start the car - not even to shift it into a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

If you get in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the specialised knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Low Leighton - Wrong Fuel in Car Low Leighton

I enjoyed a great evening fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a young couple on holiday in Low Leighton. They pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their luxury Renault Alliance, and they were roughly half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the woman telling her hubby off for turning out to be so foolish. "Precisely how could you even find a way to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this happens continuously in Derbyshire and that it is nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky chap. Anyhow, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed good bye and pondered on what my missus would ask me in the event that I made the same mistake... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

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.
