It was after six pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and I were resting talking over the recent sports results, waiting for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. In due time we had a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Thingwall and filled petrol in her diesel creamy white Volkswagen Eos lease car in error. She was quite agitated apparently, saying "I still can't believe I've messed up the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe space and, because it was only a short distance off from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and not so worried. Another job in Merseyside done well in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Merseyside we are encountering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not knowing the right way to use it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Because the product is mostly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously take care not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you will likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Phone us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Thingwall - Wrong Fuel in Car Thingwall

I appreciated a great day hiking on my afternoon off and was feeling delighted the next day as I set off to help a young couple vacationing in Thingwall. They had broken down after filling petrol in their metallic red Volkswagen Scirocco, and were about half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smiled while I listened to the girl telling her partner off for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this occurs quite frequently in Merseyside and that it's nothing to fret about, but he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching while they drove away I shouted hasta la vista and pondered on what my missus would do to me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally never live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Thingwall

Now I am not ever too hot for working Sundays, and last week was no different. I had just left the wife and kids filled with a tasty Sunday roast made for us by the missus, and I was on my way to deal with a guy after he put the incorrect petrol in his expensive Vauxhall Zafira. He was only in Thingwall therefore I was with him very quickly. As I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my mind on other considerations and did not perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought about harm by running it?" I revealed that there probably should not be any kind of damage and that I'd personally drain the contaminated fuel right away. As expected I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and so another happy client could carry on with his trip without any bother. The guy did not stop thanking me, and this makes earning a living on weekends in Merseyside that tiny bit less painful to me!

A young lady working in Thingwall called us after she had tried to get her wrong fueled automobile to the office. She had put petrol in her diesel luxury Ford Transit and, like many people prior to her, imagined that she could simply fill the vehicle with diesel and it would run okay. The engine was spluttering and then it cut out when she got to the the front of her work. We immediately started on the fuel drain after she called and had it fixed within an hour whilst she was at work. She came out when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm really happy you fixed my car."

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.
