It was after ten pm on a Friday and while we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were seated talking over the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Shelwick and put the wrong fuel in a diesel mom's Lexus LFA rental car in error. She was very affected apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure position and, since it was only a short distance away from our van, we could get to the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could get back to the hotel she was residing in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away contented and less worried. A misfuel correction in Herefordshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Herefordshire we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In cases where you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Whenever you find yourself in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts have the practical expertise and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Shelwick - Wrong Fuel in Car Shelwick

I appreciated a terrific afternoon fishing on my off day and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a young family on vacation in Shelwick. They had pulled over after adding diesel in their classic Land Rover Freelander II, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself while I heard to the wife telling off her husband for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this occurs frequently in Herefordshire and that it is nothing to stress about, however he all the same had his ear bent. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the right fuel. As they drove away I mouthed good-bye and pondered on what my wife would say to me if I made the exact same blunder... I'd never hear the end of it!

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.

• 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.
