It was before ten pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not given up on pouring! James and I were seated there talking over the weekend's tennis, waiting around for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Stony Cross and put the wrong fuel in her diesel navy blue Renault Kangoo hire car in error. The poor thing was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure space and, as it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to arrive at her right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and much less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Herefordshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Stony Cross (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill the car. They can also handle any of the usual issues which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Herefordshire we are finding progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it asap. And most definitely do not start the engine - not even to move it to a parking place. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Stony Cross

I am not ever so keen on working on weekends, and the other day was no different. I had only just come away from home after eating a tasty dinner cooked for us by the missus, and I was on the way to assist a fellow after he had filled the wrong petrol in his rust red Mazda B2500. He was situated in Stony Cross hence it wasn't long before I arrived with him. As I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my concentration on other considerations and did not perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I created any kind of harm by simply running it?" I explained that truth be told there shouldn't be damage and that also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible. Obviously I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled up with the correct fuel, and then another satisfied client could continue their trip without the need for difficulty. The guy did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what makes carrying out work on Sundays in Herefordshire a little bit easier in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Stony Cross - Fuel Rescue Stony Cross

A customer working in Stony Cross called us after she had managed to get her wrong fueled vehicle to her office. She had put petrol in her diesel partner's Ford Ranger and, like plenty before her, assumed that she could simply top up her car with diesel and it would run fine. The vehicle was chugging and then it stopped when she got to the the front of her work. We soon started on the fuel drain after she called and got it resolved within 60 minutes whilst she was working. She came outside later on and thanked us stating, "I'm very happy you sorted my vehicle."

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.
