It was around seven pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not given up on pouring! James and I were seated talking about the recent footy, prepared for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Chorley and put the wrong fuel in a diesel teal Citron Zara rental by mistake. The poor thing was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure area and, because it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to reach her right away. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and much less anxious. Another job in Shropshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Shropshire we are encountering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it immediately. And certainly do not start up the car - not even to shift it to a parking area. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

In the event that you get in this position don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Chorley - Fuel Rescue Chorley

This was most definitely what is called the night shift. It was close to 2am and hardly anyone was stirring. It was rather uneventful up to now, and Brian and I were sitting about looking at some old magazines. That was an unusual peaceful time in Shropshire. It was indeed that quiet that when my mobile finally rang I leaped with surprise! The customer explained: "I've just concluded my night shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in a light blue Cadillac Escalade EXT by mistake". We instructed him to let us know where exactly he was situated and we hit the road, reaching him in Chorley under an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the car and he thanked us for getting there so quickly. As we were going back to the office we found two women on the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat. As a result we pulled over to help them change it, much to their delight.

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.
