It was just after 10 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were sitting going over the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the next telephone call to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Whitwell and put the wrong fuel in her diesel blue VW Beetle lease car by mistake. She was rather distressed apparently, saying "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from us, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and much less concerned. A fuel drain in Derbyshire done well in my opinion!

They will be able to take care of any of the standard problems which can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Derbyshire we are identifying progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since the product is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it right away. And of course don't start the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking spot. Assuming you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Phone us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct different 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.
