It was before seven pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and I were resting commenting on the footy results, ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Richards Castle and put the wrong fuel in a diesel customised Jaguar X-Type rental car by mistake. She was quite agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure area and, since it was just a short distance from where we were, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and much less worried. Yet another job in Herefordshire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Herefordshire we have found progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists being unsure of how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And absolutely never switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

In case you end up in this scenario don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the specialised competence and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SY8 Postcode - Richards Castle Misfueling

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a warm Sunday and I was on the way to assist an elder lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel mint condition Toyota Cressida in Richards Castle. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station and stranded along a country road on route to visit her family. I plugged the location straight into the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour. I got to the location and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she said, "I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car using diesel as I'd just bought it a week back after my old car, which I had owned for more than twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she offered me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely Herefordshire lady!

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.
