It was before 7 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were seated going over the rugby results, prepared for the seventh call of the day to come in. Before long we received the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Lostford and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel mustard yellow Volvo XC70 rental car in error. The poor lady was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure area and, as it was just a few miles from our van, we could find the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Shropshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial premises in Shropshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Shropshire we have noticed increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you have started the car you will probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Contact us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

This was exactly an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly sunrise and hardly anyone was around. It had become fairly dead up to now, and Ray and I were relaxing reading a couple of old newspapers. That was an uncommon peaceful moment in Shropshire. It was that peaceful that the instant the phone rang I jumped with surprise! The voice on the opposite end said: "I've just finished my night shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in the company's Skoda Yeti in error". We asked him to inform us where exactly he was and we headed out, getting to him in Lostford no more than half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the car and he thanked us for getting there so rapidly. While we were returning home we noticed two young ladies at the side of the road who seemed like they had a puncture. Obviously we stopped to help them change it, much to their delight.

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.
