It was before 5 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were seated commenting on the recent footy results, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we got the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Wootton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel light blue Audi A4 lease car. The poor lady was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I can not believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we were able to find the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Herefordshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Herefordshire we have noticed increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by people not understanding how to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the automobile.

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

Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely be careful not to turn over the car - not even to move it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you will very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in HR3 Postcode - Wootton Misfueling

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday and we were on the way to assist an old lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel cyan BMW 600 in Wootton. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down in a country lane along the way to pay a visit to her family. I popped her location in the Satnav and got there within 60 minutes. I turned up at the location and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was working she explained, "Now I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel since I'd just purchased it a few days ago right after my previous car, which I'd used for more than twenty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Herefordshire lady!

We are aware of the thing that is important to you and as a result are properly covered and authorised for our work. We can easily deal with all car models no matter whether they have been run on the wrong fuel or not.

I had a perfect evening cycling on my holiday and felt contented the following working day as I set out to aid a new family vacationing in Wootton. They pulled over after putting diesel in their racing green Mazda B-Series Plus, and the car was about an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smiled while I listened to the woman telling off her partner for actually being so silly. "Just how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this happens quite frequently in Herefordshire and that it is nothing to worry about, but he still got an earful. Unlucky chap. In any case, I extracted all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive away I waved good bye and considered what my wife would tell me if I did the same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!

We provide you with clean fuel at pump prices, and we will normally have your car done and able to set off inside of one hour. All contaminated fuel is discarded by us by way of a accredited waste transporter and recycled.

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.
