The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!

Out of fuel in Calverhall (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to deal with any of the usual problems that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Shropshire we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers not knowing the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at once. And obviously be careful not to crank the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In case you have started the car you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Contact us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Calverhall - Wrong Fuel in Car Calverhall

I had a terrific afternoon hiking on my off day and felt pleased with myself the next morning as I set out to aid a new couple who were holidaying in Calverhall. They broken down after inserting diesel into their pristine Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, and they were roughly an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl berating her husband for actually being so foolish. "How could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this takes place frequently in Shropshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to worry about, but he yet still had an earful. Poor boy. Anyway, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove away I mouthed so long and considered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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

    • 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.
