It was about six pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were seated going over the tennis, at the ready for the 6th call of the day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Shell filling station in Chatcull and filled petrol in a diesel compact Kia Carens lease car by mistake. The poor thing was quite agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from our van, we could arrive at her quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got really wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and much less worried. A job in Staffordshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Staffordshire we are noticing progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And certainly never switch on the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Call us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily attend to every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Chatcull - Wrong Fuel in Car Chatcull

I had a perfect afternoon hiking during my holiday and felt pleased with myself the next morning as I set off to aid a new couple who were away in Chatcull. They had broken down after putting diesel into their mate's BMW X5, and the car was about half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and laughed as I heard to the wife telling off her man for actually being so stupid. "How could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on constantly in Staffordshire and that it's truly nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he still got his ear bent by his wife. Poor chap. Anyhow, I drained out the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed farewell and wondered what my wife would do to me if I did the very same thing... I would 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.
