It was around five pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were resting there talking about the weekend's tennis, at the ready for the next call that day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in East Carlton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic blue Mercedes E-Class hire car. She was very troubled apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe space and, as it was only a few miles from us, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could return to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and much less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Northamptonshire done well in my opinion!

Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to refill the car.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Northamptonshire we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to motorists being unsure of how to use it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And absolutely never crank the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to all types 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.

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.
