It was after 6 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were resting there talking about the recent footy results, at the ready for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Shocklach and put petrol in her diesel matte black BMW 5 Series rental car in error. The poor thing was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Cheshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Cheshire we are identifying a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not being totally sure how to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And definitely do not start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this position do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the specialised skills and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
