It was around 5 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were relaxing talking over the recent sports, waiting for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Gravel Hole and filled petrol in a diesel modern Mercedes CLS-Class hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to move the car to a safe position and, because it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we were able to reach her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home calm and a lot less worried. One more job in Shropshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Shropshire we are encountering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers not knowing the way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it asap. And definitely be careful not to start up the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

If perhaps you get in this scenario don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the practical skills and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Gravel Hole

I wouldn't like conking out in a automobile contaminated with the incorrect fuel in the middle of the road. We had a customer who put petrol in his diesel car (brand new Hyundai Santa Fe) in Gravel Hole endured literally this kind of issue: "Your man helped me remove my vehicle from the road. He drained it and had it functioning within just thirty minutes. Couldn't recommend you more."

This was most definitely the night shift. It was roughly 2:30am and nobody was about. It was pretty uneventful so far, and me and Mark were loafing perusing a couple of old magazines. That was a rare calm hour in Shropshire. Actually it was that tranquil that the instant the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The person said: "I have only just ended my night shift and foolishly filled petrol in the stylish Peugeot 106 in error". We asked him to inform us where he was located and we set off, reaching him in Gravel Hole no more than an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car and he thanked us profusely for showing up so promptly. While we were returning to the office we noticed two girls on the edge of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. So we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
