It was around 7 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and me were relaxing going over the rugby results, at the ready for the seventh job for the day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Littleworth and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel expensive Cadillac CTS rental car. The poor lady was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe space and, since it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away satisfied and less concerned. A misfuel correction in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

In Gloucestershire we have encountered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of people being unsure of how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And obviously never start the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

If you end up in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the technical skills and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GL5 Postcode - Littleworth Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Tuesday and we were off to assist an elder sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel apricot Austin Mini in Littleworth. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and stranded in a rural road along the way to see her godchildren. I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I got to the destination and removed the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing the drain she told me, "Now I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel as I had just purchased it a couple of days back after my old car, which I had used for over 30 years, eventually died". I finished the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious Gloucestershire lady!

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.
