It was before 10 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and I were relaxing talking over the recent golf, ready for the next fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Phocle Green and put petrol in her diesel cream Peugeot 106 lease car. She was fairly troubled apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things sadly do happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, as it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could find the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Herefordshire done well in my mind!

We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Herefordshire we have encountered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained right away. And of course don't start up the motor - not even to move it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Contact us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

I enjoyed a perfect afternoon golfing on the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the next morning as I set out to help a new family who were on vacation in Phocle Green. They conked out after putting petrol into their raspberry red BMW 330, and the car was about an hour away. I got there at their car and laughed while I listened to the gal telling off her spouse for actually being so confused. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass on daily basis in Herefordshire and that it's nothing at all to worry about, but he still got his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate guy. Anyway, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted good-bye and wondered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd never ever live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Phocle Green

I am not necessarily that keen on doing work on weekends, and a while back was no different. I'd only just left the family after a magnificent Sunday roast cooked for us by the better half, and I was off to deal with a man after he filled the wrong fuel in his husband's Mercedes-Benz C-Class. He was only in Phocle Green hence I was with him very quickly. Just as I arrived behind the car and got busy draining he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my attention on something else and failed to ascertain I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused harm by starting it?" I determined truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of harm and also that I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained at once. Naturally I drained the fuel from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and then one more delighted customer was able to continue their ride with no hassle. He could hardly stop thanking me, and this is actually what makes operating on Sundays in Herefordshire a little less painful for me personally!

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.
