It was before 8 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated discussing the recent tennis, at the ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Macclesfield Forest and filled petrol in her diesel modern Hyundai HED-5 rental by mistake. She was fairly troubled apparently, crying "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, and that such things sadly do happen. She managed to get the car into a secure spot and, as it was only a short distance from us, we could get to her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home contented and much less anxious. Another fuel drain in Cheshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Cheshire we are noticing more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers not knowing how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

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

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And most certainly take care not to switch on the motor - not even to shift it into a parking area. If perhaps you did start the car you would likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

If you end up in this position do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the practical knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SK11 Postcode - Macclesfield Forest Misfueling

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Sunday and we were en route to assist an older lady who had put petrol in her diesel winter grey Jaguar XF in Macclesfield Forest. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and broken down in a country road along the way to see her godchildren. I popped her location straight into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour. I arrived at the destination and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing the drain she said, "I have been becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel as I'd only just got it a couple of days ago after my old car, which I had for more than twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she gave me a toffee and said thanks. Such a delightful Cheshire lady!

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.
