It was just after seven pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing there going over the recent footy results, waiting for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Wilcott and put the wrong fuel in her diesel company's Mazda929 hire car by mistake. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the car to a protected area and, because it was only a few miles off from us, we could reach her right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and not so stressed. A misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Wilcott (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your car. They will take care of the typical troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

In Shropshire we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers not knowing the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely never start up the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Phone us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SY4 Postcode - Wilcott Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Saturday and I was en route to assist an older sweetheart who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel gorgeous BMW in Wilcott. I'd been informed she had left the filling station and broken down along a country road on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing the work she said, "I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel because I'd just bought it a few days ago because my previous car, which I'd owned for in excess of twenty five years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant Shropshire woman!

I had enjoyed a fantastic day golfing during my afternoon off and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a young family who were on holiday in Wilcott. They'd pulled over after filling petrol in their metallic blue Volvo960, and the car was about half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and smirked as I listened to the wife chastising her man for turning out to be so silly. "How could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing goes on constantly in Shropshire and that it's really nothing to get worried about, however he all the same got his ear bent. Poor lad. In any case, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the same error... I would 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.
