It was just after ten pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's footy rankings, ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Norton-Juxta-Twycross and put the wrong fuel in a diesel dad's Chevrolet Malibu hire car by mistake. She was pretty irritated apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and not so anxious. Another misfuel correction in Leicestershire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Leicestershire we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists being unsure of how to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

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

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it right away. And most definitely do not start up the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In the instance that you did start the car you may probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Norton-Juxta-Twycross - Wrong Fuel in Car Norton-Juxta-Twycross

I had a great evening fishing on my day off and was feeling satisfied the following day as I set off to aid a new couple holidaying in Norton-Juxta-Twycross. They'd stopped after inserting petrol in their dark blue BMW M5, and the car was around half an hour away. I emerged at their car and smiled as I listened to the girl chastising her man for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place quite frequently in Leicestershire and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, but he yet still had an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I drained all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed farewell and considered what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the very same mistake... I would never ever hear the end of it!

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.
