It was just after seven pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were sitting there talking about the recent golf results, waiting for the 8th job to arrive. Finally we had a call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in The Spring and put petrol in a diesel metallic blue Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 rental in error. The poor lady was very irritated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from the office, we could get to the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away contented and a lot less worried. Another misfuel correction in Warwickshire done well in my opinion!

Out of fuel in The Spring (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Warwickshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your automobile.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Warwickshire we are encountering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And most definitely don't start up the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In the event that you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Whenever you find yourself in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the specialised know-how and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

This was exactly the night shift. It was around 2am and noone was around. It had been rather quiet thus far, and Ryan and I were sitting perusing several old papers. This was an unusual calm moment in Warwickshire. It was indeed so peaceful that the instant the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The customer on the other end stated: "I have just completed my overnight shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in the diesel classic Toyota Cressida in error". I instructed him to tell us where he was and we left, getting to him in The Spring half an hour later.

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.
