It was about eight pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing there going over the recent sports, waiting around for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Finally we received a call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Whitminster and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel maroon Peugeot 309 rental car by mistake. The poor lady was pretty distressed apparently, crying "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to move the car into a secure area and, as it was just a few miles from the office, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and less stressed. One more job in Gloucestershire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Gloucestershire we have discovered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And of course be careful not to start the engine - not even to shift it into a parking place. In case you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Should you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our experts have the practical expertise and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Whitminster - Wrong Fuel in Car Whitminster

I had a wonderful day fishing during my day off and was feeling contented the following morning as I set off to help a young couple who were vacationing in Whitminster. They conked out after adding the wrong fuel in their racing green Dodge Charger, and they were about an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smiled while I heard to the wife telling off her husband for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you even manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this occurs regularly in Gloucestershire and that it is nothing to be anxious about, but he all the same had an earful by his wife. Poor boy. Anyhow, I removed all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove away I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally never ever live it down!

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.
