It was before 6 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and me were resting discussing the rugby results, at the ready for the 8th job to arrive. Before long we got the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Long Buckby Wharf and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel brother's Vauxhall rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather irritated apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a safe area and, since it was just a short distance from us, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less stressed. A misfuel correction in Northamptonshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Northamptonshire we are noticing progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the car.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out immediately. And definitely never start up the car - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In the event that you did start the car you may likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

In case you find yourself in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our experts have the practical skills and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
