It was about 7 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were relaxing there talking about the tennis rankings, waiting around for the sixth call to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Pathlow and put petrol in her diesel brother's Mazda RX-8 rental car. The poor thing was pretty distressed apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things sadly can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure position and, because it was only a few miles off from us, we were able to reach the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and less apprehensive. Yet another job in Warwickshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

What you should do in the event that you have put AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

It is definitely damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, especially any time you run the engine with AdBlue in your tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the AdBlue will be squirted into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

I had a perfect evening hiking on the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the next day as I set out to aid a young couple away in Pathlow. They had pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their light green Kia Spectra5, and were about half an hour away. I emerged at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady telling her partner off for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this situation happens quite frequently in Warwickshire and that it's really nothing at all to be concerned about, nevertheless he still had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor lad. In any case, I extracted all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed good-bye and thought about what my missus would do to me in the event that I made the same mistake... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

Now I am not overly hot for carrying out work on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had just come away from home after eating a magnificent Sunday roast cooked by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a guy after he filled the wrong fuel in his mint green Mercedes-Benz R-Class. He was stationed in Pathlow hence it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. As I drove up at the rear of the car and stepped out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my mind on other stuff and did not realise I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created any kind of problems by simply starting it?" I explained that generally there should not be problems and also I would remove the contaminated fuel as soon as possible. Needless to say I got the fuel drained from the car and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and so another contented customer had the ability to carry on with his trip without any subsequent fuss. The gentleman couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what helps make operating on Sundays in Warwickshire a tiny bit easier to me!

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.
