It was close to eight pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry day, it had not ceased pouring! Paul and me were sitting there talking over the recent rugby rankings, ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we got the call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Bretton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel well worn Volkswagen Passat hire car. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe I have ruined the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing as it was only a few miles from the office, we were able to find the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got very wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off relaxed and not so anxious. A job in Derbyshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination
What you should do in case you may have poured AdBlue in a Diesel tank?
AdBlue is a solution composed of a blend of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is actually disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the AdBlue will likely be dragged into your fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, leading to devastating and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.
Any time you find yourself in this position don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the practical competence and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Ahhh, that was a good night's sleep! 7:00 on a gloomy Sunday and we were on the way to help an elder woman after she had put petrol in her diesel trusty VW in Bretton. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station and was pulled up in a country road en route to visit her grandchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I reached the destination and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said, "I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel because I had only purchased it a few days back when my previous one, which I used for about 25 years, finally died". I completed the job and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a precious Derbyshire lady!

This was what is called the night shift. It was around dawn and almost noone was about. It had been fairly uneventful up to now, and me and John were relaxing looking at a few old papers. That was a rare peaceful hour in Derbyshire. It was in fact so relaxing that the moment the phone finally rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist on the opposite end stated: "I just completed my overnight shift and stupidly put petrol in my apricot Volvo C70". I told him to let us know exactly where he was located and we left, arriving in Bretton only an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the motor and he thanked us for coming so rapidly. As we were coming back to base we noticed two young ladies at the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat. So we got out and helped them change it, to their elation.

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.

- A lot of smoke (more than usual)
- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
- 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.
