Inevitably we received a call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Beam Hill and put petrol in her diesel partner's Mercedes R-Class lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly agitated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!"

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Staffordshire we have noticed increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not knowing the right way to use it (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And definitely don't turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the technical competence and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

This really was an unsociable hour to be up. It was close to 3:30am and hardly anyone was around. It was quite uneventful so far, and Paul and I were sitting about reading a number of old newspapers. That was a rare restful moment in Staffordshire. It was in fact that calm that the moment my mobile eventually rang I leaped with surprise! The person said: "I've only just concluded my overnight shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in my yellow Mercedes-Benz SL-Class". We instructed him to let us know exactly where he was and we set off, arriving in Beam Hill not as much as an hour later.
