It was around 5 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's footy results, prepared for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Breaden Heath and filled petrol in a diesel creamy white BMW Z4 rental by mistake. She was rather agitated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure space and, since it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. A misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

What to do in case you have put AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid composed of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is actually harmful to your car's fuel system, particularly in cases where you run the engine with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be pushed into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Phone us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily attend to every type of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SY13 Postcode - Breaden Heath Misfueling

What a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and I was on my way to assist an older woman who had put petrol in her diesel metallic grey VW Touareg 2 in Breaden Heath. I had been informed she had left the petrol station and was stranded on a country road en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped the location into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the location and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was working she said, "Now I'm getting relatively forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel because I had only just purchased it a couple of days ago right after my former one, which I'd used for more than thirty years, finally died". I completed the drain and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a precious Shropshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Breaden Heath

Now I am not so enthusiastic about running Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had only just departed home filled with a fantastic roast made for us by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a gentleman who had filled the wrong petrol in his mint condition Citron DS4. He was stationed in Breaden Heath hence I was there quickly. As I pulled up right behind the car and stepped out he told me "Praise God! I stupidly had my thoughts on something else and did not ascertain I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about problems by starting it?" I stated that generally there shouldn't be problems and also that I would get the fuel drained right away for him. Naturally I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some suitable fuel, and so yet another delighted customer could continue on their ride without any subsequent fuss. He couldn't stop thanking me, and this is exactly what helps make carrying out work on Sundays in Shropshire just a tiny bit easier 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.
