If ever you might have put the wrong fuel in your car or truck in Consall we definitely are the people you will need to get in touch with. We cover the whole of the Consall vicinity and all adjoining counties.

It was around eight pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and me were relaxing talking about the sports rankings, prepared for the seventh call to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Consall and put the wrong fuel in her diesel modified Peugeot Expert hire car. The poor thing was somewhat agitated it seemed, stating "I can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure position and, since it was just a short distance away from our van, we could arrive at the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and less worried. Another job in Staffordshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank in the rear of the garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Staffordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Staffordshire we are noticing progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists being unsure of the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at once. And definitely never start up the motor - not even to move it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the car you may probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

A lady had broken down on a street, Consall just after having wrong fueled. She was sobbing and really distressed as she had put £50 petrol in her diesel car.

When we got to her she was not annoyed any more and was quite intrigued in watching our fuel drainer carry out the fuel drain on her new Audi A3.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Consall

I am not actually that enthusiastic about carrying out work on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd only just come away from the family after a superb dinner prepared for us by the better half, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman who had put the wrong fuel in his classic Austin Mini Cooper. He was stationed in Consall therefore it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. As I drove up right behind the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my mind on other considerations and failed to perceive I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created damage as a result of starting it?" I determined that there shouldn't be damage and that I would personally get the wrong fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. Obviously I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and filled up with the suitable fuel, and so another satisfied client had the ability to continue on their journey without fuss. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what can make working on weekends in Staffordshire a little bit less painful in my opinion!

A man who had sadly put unleaded in his diesel wife's Audi riolet called us for a fuel drain at the Esso petrol filling station in Consall. He decided to fill up before going on to the nearby holiday park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded instead of diesel which probably wasn't a good way to begin to our holiday break." It was really no trouble in the least for our engineer to go along and perform the fuel drain. We hope the family enjoyed their vacation.

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.
