It was close to ten pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting there going over the weekend's golf rankings, at the ready for the 8th call that day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Lower Frankton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic red BMW X6 M rental car in error. She was fairly distressed apparently, crying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things do happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes from us, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and much less anxious. A fuel drain in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

How to proceed if you’ve poured AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that is made of a mix of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is certainly harmful to your car's fuel system, particularly in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in the fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started the AdBlue will be pushed into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, resulting in serious and costly problems to your automobile's fuel system.

In case you discover yourself to be in this position don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts have the specialised expertise and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Just had a great night of sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Sunday and we were on the way to help an old woman after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel yellow BMW 8 Series in Lower Frankton. I had been informed she had driven away from the petrol station and broken down on a rural road on route to see her grandchildren. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and was with her inside 60 minutes. I got to the location and drained the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was doing it she said, "Now I'm getting quite absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel since I'd only acquired it several days back after my former car, which I had had for in excess of thirty years, eventually stopped working". I completed the job and she gave me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a delightful Shropshire woman!

We fairly recently got a phone call from a motorist who had put the wrong fuel in his mum's Chevrolet Corsica in Lower Frankton. He had broken down on the street. "After adding petrol in my diesel car I didn't notice the issue till the time it stopped working. You drained the wrong fuel from my car and had it functioning once again. I was pleased due to both your speed and your rates". As you can imagine we were on-scene punctually and flushed the engine after draining all of the petrol from the diesel tank. On arrival our technician said the client was fuming, but was satisfied after the fuel drain.

This was exactly what we call an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly sunrise and hardly anyone was stirring. It was quite quiet thus far, and Ryan and I were sitting browsing a couple of old articles. This was an unusual peaceful hour in Shropshire. Actually it was indeed so tranquil that when my mobile rang I leaped! The voice on the other end told me: "I just concluded my night shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel elegant Porsche Boxster". I told him to let us know exactly where he was and we set off, ending up in Lower Frankton only an hour later. The fuel was removed from the motor and he thanked us for coming out so fast. While we were coming back to base we saw two girls on the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we got out and helped them change it, 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.

The most common Misfuel Symptoms:

Here is a list of typical wrong fuel symptoms:

  • Decrease in engine power
