It was before seven pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing going over the weekend's golf, at the ready for the next job to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Bagginswood and put the wrong fuel in a diesel old BMW M5 hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe space and, as it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we could get to the lady right away. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home contented and a lot less worried. A misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my mind!

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue Contamination

In Shropshire we are discovering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly due to drivers not understanding the way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely do not crank the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DY14 Postcode - Bagginswood Misfueling

Just had a great night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Tuesday and I was en route to assist an elder sweetheart after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel cyan Citron Zara in Bagginswood. I had been advised she drove away from the petrol station and was stranded on a rural road along the way to visit her family. I got the location punched into the Satnav and arrived inside an hour or so. I turned up at the car and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car working with diesel seeing that I had just purchased it a few days ago right after my previous one, which I had had for over twenty years, finally died on me". I completed the job and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a delightful Shropshire lady!

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.
