It was just before eight pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting talking over the golf, ready for the 6th call of the day to come in. Finally we received the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Stoke Bruerne and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel black Volvo S40 lease car. The unfortunate thing was rather affected apparently, crying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off contented and a lot less concerned. One more job in Northamptonshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in case you may have poured AdBlue into your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is definitely damaging to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you started the car with AdBlue in your fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the AdBlue will be pushed into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and costly harm to your automobile's fuel system.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.

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.
