It was after 10 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting there talking about the sports, prepared for the 8th call for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Poynton and put petrol in her diesel father's Fiat rental by mistake. The poor thing was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure area and, because it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we were able to arrive at her almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the motel she was staying at. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off contented and a lot less anxious. A fuel drain in Shropshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Shropshire we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And certainly do not turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a warm Sunday and we were en route to assist an older lovely lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel light green Cadillac XLR-V in Poynton. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded along a country road on the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped the location straight into the Satnav and got there within 60 minutes. I arrived at the location and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel because I'd only purchased it a few days back because my former one, which I had owned for more than 30 years, finally died on me". I completed the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful Shropshire lady!

A youngster who had only passed his test had misfueled his maroon Mercedes-Benz C-Class by getting unleaded in the diesel vehicle at the filling station in Poynton. He said, "This is only the third occasion I have fueled my car since I purchased it and I have no clue of what to do." He was scared because his dad had just recently got him the car. He came across us on the net and so called us without delay, frightened about what he should do. Our man on the telephones told him that we would be on scene within 45 minutes and to not move his vehicle while he waited. We finished the drain on his vehicle and he said how astonished he was that it was taken care of so speedily and without complication .

This was most definitely an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about 2am and almost noone was about. It had been fairly quiet until now, and Brian and I were loafing reading through several old articles. It was an uncommon calm moment in Shropshire. Actually it was in fact that calm that the instant the telephone eventually rang I leaped! The motorist on the phone stated: "I concluded my overnight shift and foolishly poured petrol in my diesel trusty Cadillac Eldorado". I told him to let us know where the car was and we set off, getting to him in Poynton only an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for coming so quickly. As we were returning to base we saw two ladies at the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled over to 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.
