It was after six pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing there going over the recent footy rankings, ready for the 8th call that day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Gravenhunger Moss and put petrol in her diesel grey Jaguar XJ lease car by mistake. She was fairly distressed it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe I have messed up the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure position and, as it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could reach the customer quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and not so stressed. Another job in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Gravenhunger Moss (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They will take care of any of the common issues which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Shropshire we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers not knowing how to to make use of (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the car.

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

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And of course never start up the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can attend to every type of AdBlue contamination.

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Saturday and we were on the way to help an elder lovely lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel compact Vauxhall Combo in Gravenhunger Moss. She told us that she had left the filling station and was pulled up in a backwater lane on route to visit her grandchildren. I popped the location straight into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was working she told me, "I have been becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel because I'd only purchased it a few days back after my previous one, which I'd owned for over thirty years, finally stopped working". I got the drain done and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Shropshire woman!

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.
