It was about 8 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and I were seated there discussing the sports rankings, at the ready for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Little Hayfield and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel silver Mazda MX-6 hire car. She was quite affected it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, also that such things do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe space and, since it was just a few miles away from our van, we were able to get to the customer right away. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and much less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Derbyshire well done in my opinion!

Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They can also deal with any of the common troubles which can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Derbyshire we have encountered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not knowing how to work with it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

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

Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good 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. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it right away. And most certainly take care not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Little Hayfield - Wrong Fuel in Car Little Hayfield

I enjoyed a great evening cycling during the weekend and felt cheerful the following morning as I headed out to help a new couple who were holidaying in Little Hayfield. They'd stopped after inserting the wrong fuel in their cobalt blue Mercedes C-Class, and the car was about half an hour away. I emerged at their car and laughed while I heard to the lady telling off her man for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you actually manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing comes to pass all the time in Derbyshire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he yet still got an ear bashing by his wife. Poor lad. Anyhow, I drained all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed goodbye and wondered what my missus would do to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I would personally never ever 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.
