It was after eight pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and me were resting going over the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Coptiviney and put petrol in a diesel white BMW 760 lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was very distressed it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe space and, because it was only a few minutes from where we were, we could get to her quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could go home to the motel she was living in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and less worried. One more job in Shropshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Coptiviney (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They can also handle any of the typical troubles which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Shropshire we have discovered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it asap. And most certainly never crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In case you have started the car you may probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Any time you find yourself in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the practical skills and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

What a quality night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a gloomy Tuesday and I was on the way to help an older lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel mate's Peugeot 307 in Coptiviney. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded on a country road en route to see her godchildren. I got the location plugged in the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I arrived at the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "Now I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car using diesel as I had just purchased it a few days ago after my other one, which I had had for about twenty five years, eventually died". I got the drain done and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Shropshire woman!

I'd had a terrific afternoon fishing during my afternoon off and felt contented the next working day as I set off to help a young family on holiday in Coptiviney. They pulled over after adding petrol in their rugged Volvo XC70, and they were around an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and smiled as I listened to the girl berating her hubby for being so confused. "Exactly how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this happens everyday in Shropshire and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he yet still had an earful by his missus. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the correct fuel. As they drove away I shouted good bye and considered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd personally never live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Coptiviney

I'm not very excited about running weekends, and the other day was no different. I'd just departed home following a wonderful dinner made for me by the missus, and I was off to help a guy who had put the wrong petrol in his racing green Honda Civic Si. He was stationed in Coptiviney thus I was on scene almost immediately. As I drove up behind the car and started work he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on something else and failed to realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about some damage by starting it?" I determined there should not be any kind of harm and that I would drain the wrong fuel as soon as possible for him. Needless to say I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some correct fuel, and thus yet another happy client was able to carry on with his traveling without any difficulty. The man could not stop thanking me, and that is what tends to make carrying out work on Sundays in Shropshire a little easier in my opinion!

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.
