It was about eight pm on a Friday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were seated talking about the tennis rankings, waiting for the seventh call that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Saughall and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel father's Jaguar XF hire car by mistake. She was rather affected apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from us, we could arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to return to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off contented and less concerned. A job in Cheshire done well in my opinion!

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Cheshire we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to people being unsure of how to work with it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Because the product is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And of course be careful not to start up the car - not even to shift it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CH1 Postcode - Saughall Misfueling

A somewhat concerned driver phoned us from the Total petrol station at Cheshire to advise us that he put petrol in his diesel cyan BMW Z4; he wasn't totally certain how he'd done it. We told him it was not a situation and rapidly had our technician with him to drain the wrong fuel from his car. Having taken away the incorrect fuel, he was soon back rolling again.

Wrong Fuel Assist Saughall - Wrong Fuel in Car Saughall

I had a wonderful day fishing during my off day and was feeling delighted the following morning as I set off to aid a new couple who were on vacation in Saughall. They had broken down after filling the wrong fuel in their beloved Cadillac Brougham, and were close to half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and laughed as I heard to the gal berating her hubby for actually being so silly. "How could you even find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this situation takes place constantly in Cheshire and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, however he yet still got an earful. Unlucky chap. Anyhow, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved hasta la vista and considered what my missus would tell me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would never hear the end of it!

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.
