It was just after 5 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's tennis, waiting around for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the BP filling garage in Runcorn and filled petrol in her diesel creamy white Honda CR-Z hire car by mistake. The poor thing was quite agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things sadly happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing as it was just a few miles from us, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away relaxed and not so concerned. A fuel drain in Cheshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Cheshire we are encountering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people being unsure of the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

In case you get in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our experts have the specialised competence and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in WA7 Postcode - Runcorn Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Tuesday and we were on the way to help an elder lovely lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel compact BMW M in Runcorn. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a backwater road along the way to visit her grandchildren. I plugged her location in the Satnav and arrived inside an hour. I turned up at the location and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "I have been becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car taking diesel as I had only got it several days ago because my previous car, which I'd used for more than 25 years, inevitably stopped working". I completed the drain and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a precious Cheshire woman!

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.
