It was before ten pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting there discussing the golf, prepared for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Clarksfield and filled petrol in her diesel deep grey Audi RS 6 lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather troubled it seemed, saying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to find the woman right away. The wrong fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. A job in Greater Manchester done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Greater Manchester we have found more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to drivers being unsure of how to work with it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As the product is mostly deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And most certainly don't start the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

In the event that you get in this scenario don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the practical knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Last Monday a gentleman contacted us just after his burgundy red BMW X5 stopped working on a road in Clarksfield. He had by accident put petrol in the diesel vehicle and was only able to drive so far as the street before needing to pull up. It was in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who resides close by, reached him in less than a quarter hour. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, particularly at 5 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."

Wrong Fuel in Car Greater Manchester - Petrol in Diesel Car Clarksfield

It's no fun breaking down in a car with the wrong fuel on the street. Recently a customer who filled her car with the wrong fuel (son's Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500) in Clarksfield encountered literally this type of nightmare: "You probably know that I erroneously put petrol in my diesel car a few days ago. I was so bothered about the wrong fuel in my car that I was actually in tears. But I didn't need to worry since you were exceptional in dealing with the problem."

This really was what is called the graveyard shift. It was roughly dawn and hardly anyone was about. It had been quite dead until now, and Ryan and I were loafing around looking at a number of old papers. That was a rare restful hour in Greater Manchester. It was in fact so relaxing that the instant the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The customer told me: "I've only just ended my overnight shift and stupidly filled petrol in a diesel grass green Isuzu i-350 in error". We got him to let us know exactly where the car was and we hit the road, reaching him in Clarksfield less than half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car and he thanked us profusely for getting there so promptly. While we were going back to base we spotted two ladies on the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat. Obviously we pulled up to 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 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.
