It was before ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were relaxing discussing the weekend's golf, prepared for the seventh call that day to come in. In due time we had the call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Crickheath and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel apricot Honda Ridgeline rental in error. She was pretty agitated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things do happen. She was able to get the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from our van, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying at.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Crickheath (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your vehicle. They will handle any of the standard problems which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Shropshire we have discovered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And most definitely take care not to start the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

If you end up in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the specialised know-how and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SY10 Postcode - Crickheath Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a bright Sunday and I was off to help an older lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel green Kia Rio5 in Crickheath. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a country road along the way to see her grandchildren. I plugged the location straight into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I got to the car and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the work she said to me, "I have been getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel since I had just acquired it a couple of days back because my old car, which I had used for more than thirty years, finally stopped working". I got the job completed and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a delightful Shropshire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Crickheath

I'm certainly not so keen on doing work on weekends, and a while back was the same. I had only just left home following a lovely lunch cooked for me by the better half, and I was en route to deal with a gentleman after he had filled the wrong fuel in his metallic red Hyundai Entourage. He was situated in Crickheath hence I was on scene soon. As I pulled up behind the car and started work he explained to me "Praise God! I had my mind on other things and did not ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought about harm because of starting it?" I explained that truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of harm and also that I would drain the wrong fuel at once. As expected I removed the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with the correct fuel, and then one more content motorist had the ability to continue on his trip without any difficulty. The man couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what can make operating on weekends in Shropshire just that small 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.
