It was after 6 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring! James and I were sitting talking over the weekend's sports rankings, waiting for the 6th job of the day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Etchinghill and put petrol in a diesel sky blue Ford Fiesta rental car. The unfortunate thing was very troubled it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things sadly happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected position and, because it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to find the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the motel she was residing in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and not so worried. Another fuel drain in Staffordshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue is actually disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, particularly any time you started the car with AdBlue in the diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be squirted into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, triggering serious and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

I enjoyed a perfect day fishing during my holiday and was feeling contented the following day as I set off to assist a young family holidaying in Etchinghill. They conked out after adding the wrong fuel into their pristine Suzuki Kizashi, and were approximately half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smirked to myself as I heard to the gal telling her spouse off for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you even manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this situation comes to pass frequently in Staffordshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he still had an earful by his missus. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I drained all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel.

This was exactly what is called the night shift. It was around sunrise and nobody was around. It had become fairly uneventful up to now, and me and Ryan were relaxing looking at a few old newspapers. It was an uncommon quiet moment in Staffordshire. It was in fact that calm that when the phone inevitably rang I jumped! The customer on the opposite end told me: "I have completed my overnight shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in a grey Peugeot 307 in error". We got him to tell us just where he was and we headed out, ending up in Etchinghill only an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he thanked us profusely for getting there so promptly. While we were coming back to the depot we found two women on the edge of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. Obviously we got out to help them change it, to their elation.

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.
