It was about five pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated there going over the football results, ready for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Preston on Stour and put the wrong fuel in her diesel dad's Seat lease car. She was rather troubled it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from the office, we could get to the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to return to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and less concerned. One more job in Warwickshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Warwickshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, provided that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Warwickshire we are encountering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not understanding the right way to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And absolutely do not start the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Preston on Stour - Wrong Fuel in Car Preston on Stour

I appreciated a terrific day cycling on my off day and felt delighted the following day as I was on the way to assist a new couple who were on holiday in Preston on Stour. They broken down after adding the wrong fuel into their new-shape Peugeot 3008, and they were roughly an hour away. I got there at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the girl telling her spouse off for being so daft. "Exactly how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this problem takes place on daily basis in Warwickshire and that it is nothing to be concerned about, even so he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his missus. Poor lad. Anyways, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. While they drove away I waved hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

This really was what is called the night shift. It was about sunrise and nobody was stirring. It had become quite quiet up to now, and Paul and I were relaxing looking through a couple of old papers. This was an unusual calm moment in Warwickshire. Actually it was that tranquil that the moment the phone ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The person on the opposite end said: "I have just ended my evening shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in my trusty Seat Alhumbra". We told him to tell us just where he was situated and we headed out, ending up in Preston on Stour no more than an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the vehicle and he thanked us for arriving so promptly.

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.
