It was about eight pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry evening, it had not ceased pouring! Paul and me were relaxing talking over the recent tennis results, at the ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Kingsfold and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel new Cadillac STS rental in error. She was somewhat affected it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly do happen. She managed to move the car to a secure spot and, because it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we were able to reach the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and much less concerned. One more job in Lancashire well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

In Lancashire we have encountered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not knowing the way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously be careful not to crank the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the car you will probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Should you get in this position don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the specialised competence and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Kingsfold - Wrong Fuel in Car Kingsfold

I had enjoyed a fantastic day fishing during the weekend and felt pleased with myself the following working day as I headed out to assist a young family who were vacationing in Kingsfold. They had pulled over after inserting diesel into their yellow Peugeot 206, and they were close to half an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and smirked as I heard to the woman berating her partner for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this goes on constantly in Lancashire and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he in spite of everything got an earful. Unfortunate boy. At any rate, I removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. While they drove down the road I waved hasta la vista and considered what my missus would tell me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I'd personally never live it down!

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 VA 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.
