Incorrect fuel in your car in Gatley? You've found yourself in the right people. We are able to aid you in your hour of need and get you moving again with our dedicated fuel drain assistance.

It was around six pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were seated there talking about the weekend's football, at the ready for the sixth job of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Gatley and put petrol in her diesel shiny VW Fox hire car in error. She was very troubled apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected spot and, since it was just a short distance off from the office, we could find the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and much less concerned. A job in Greater Manchester done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Greater Manchester we are noticing a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers being unsure of how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And obviously never turn over the motor - not even to move it into a parking area. If perhaps you did start the car you may probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Call us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Gatley - Wrong Fuel in Car Gatley

I had a perfect afternoon fishing during the weekend and felt delighted the following day as I set out to aid a young couple on vacation in Gatley. They'd pulled over after putting diesel in their sombre grey Nissan Cube, and they were close to half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the girl berating her husband for being so confused. "Precisely how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this takes place continuously in Greater Manchester and that it is nothing to get worried about, but he yet still had an earful by his wife. Poor lad. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some proper fuel. Watching while they drove away I waved goodbye and wondered what her indoors would do to me if I did the same thing... I'd never 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 VA 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.
