It was just before 9 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Mark and me were sitting there discussing the weekend's golf results, prepared for the next job for the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling garage in Lower Breinton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel creamy white Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 lease car in error. The poor lady was fairly distressed it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few miles from the office, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and a lot less anxious. One more fuel drain in Herefordshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Herefordshire we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from people not knowing the right way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it immediately. And certainly be careful not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you will likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

If you get in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our experts have the practical knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in HR4 Postcode - Lower Breinton Misfueling

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a gloomy Tuesday and we were on my way to help an elder lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel dark green Mitsubishi in Lower Breinton. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up in a backwater road on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I punched the location in the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour. I turned up at the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing it she explained, "I have been getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel because I'd just got it a week back when my previous car, which I had owned for in excess of 25 years, inevitably died". I completed the drain and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Herefordshire woman!

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.
