Wrong fuel in your car in Hopesay? You've visited the correct place. We are here to assist you in this emergency and get you going once more with our specialist fuel drain assistance.

It was about seven pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were resting there going over the tennis results, waiting for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Hopesay and filled petrol in a diesel trusty Audi A5 lease car. She was quite irritated it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly happen. She managed to move the car into a protected position and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we could get to the lady quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home calm and less worried. A fuel drain 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 discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people not being aware of the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely do not start the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

The owner of a father's Peugeot was sorry that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle when he got onto the street and it coughed and broke down.

In truth, when he initially called us he said he wanted to shop around, but he phoned us back shortly because our rate and on-scene times were the most appropriate. Of course, our fuel drainer had him carrying out his deliveries well within the period we'd quoted.

I enjoyed a great evening hiking during my off day and felt satisfied with myself the next working day as I was on the way to aid a new couple on holiday in Hopesay. They'd broken down after inserting the wrong fuel in their sombre grey Audi riolet, and were approximately an hour away. I got there at their car and smirked while I listened to the gal chastising her spouse for actually being so stupid. "How could you actually be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this situation occurs quite frequently in Shropshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, however he yet still got his ear bent. Poor lad. Anyhow, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved goodbye and wondered what my missus would do to me in the event that I made the same mistake... I'd personally never live it down!

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.
