It was close to 5 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were seated talking over the recent tennis, prepared for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we received a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Eccles and put petrol in a diesel super Audi R8 hire car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty troubled it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure space and, as it was just a short distance off from us, we could arrive at the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Greater Manchester well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Greater Manchester we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists not knowing the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.

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

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to all types of AdBlue contamination.

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a warm Tuesday and we were on my way to help an old lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel friend's Volkswagen in Eccles. I had been told she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded along a country road en route to visit her grandchildren. I plugged her location into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour. I reached the location and drained the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel as I had only just got it a few days back after my previous car, which I owned for about twenty years, inevitably died on me". I got the drain done and she offered me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a delightful Greater Manchester lady!

This was exactly what is called the graveyard shift. It was around dawn and nobody was around. It had been rather quiet until now, and Mark and I were loafing around looking at several old articles. That was an uncommon restful hour in Greater Manchester. It was indeed so calm that the instant the phone ultimately rang it made me jump! The person on the other end told me: "I've only just concluded my evening shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in the red Mazda323". I told him to tell us just where he was and we left, ending up in Eccles only an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor and he thanked us for coming out so fast. While we were going back to base we noticed two women on the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we pulled up to change it, 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.
