It was after ten pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were seated talking over the weekend's rugby results, prepared for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Rivington and filled petrol in her diesel dirty red Vauxhall Vivaro rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from our van, we could find the customer quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could go home to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. One more job in Lancashire well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Lancashire we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And most certainly take care not to start the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In case you did start the car you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BL6 Postcode - Rivington Misfueling

Just had a great night of sleep! It was 7:30 on a rainy Monday and we were on the way to assist an older lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel rugged BMW 550 in Rivington. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was pulled up along a rural road en route to pay a visit to her family. I popped her location into the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour or so. I turned up at the destination and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the work she said to me, "Now I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car working with diesel because I'd just acquired it a week ago because my former one, which I'd had for more than 25 years, inevitably broke down". I got the job done and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Lancashire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Rivington - Wrong Fuel in Car Rivington

I appreciated a great afternoon golfing during my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the next working day as I set out to assist a new family away in Rivington. They'd pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their dark green Toyota Corolla, and they were approximately half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife telling off her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this problem occurs all the time in Lancashire and that it's nothing to be concerned about, even so he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted so long and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I'd never ever live it down!

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.
