It was after 6 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and I were sitting talking over the rugby, waiting for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Finally we got the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Lipley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel shiny Cadillac XLR rental car by mistake. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the car into a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we were able to find the woman fairly quickly.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed in case you may have poured AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution made out of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It tends to be disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, particularly if you run the engine with AdBlue in the diesel tank. Once the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be pushed into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and costly harm to your automobile's fuel system.

Phone us if you are suffering with 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.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Lipley

I am certainly not very keen on doing work on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd just departed the family after a superb Sunday roast made by the missus, and I was en route to help a man after he had filled the wrong petrol in his rugged Mercedes-Benz M-Class. He was situated in Lipley therefore I was on scene almost immediately. As I pulled up right behind the car and started work he explained to me "Praise God! I stupidly had my concentration on other things and didn't realise I have put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I caused some harm as a result of starting it?" I stated truth be told there probably should not be any problems and also that I would personally get the fuel drained as soon as possible. It goes without saying that I removed the wrong fuel from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and then one more contented motorist had the ability to continue their trip without any subsequent hassle. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that is exactly 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.

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.

  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.
