It was just after eight pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and me were resting commenting on the sports, waiting around for the sixth call that day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Leaton Heath and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel son's Lexus LS lease car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected position and, as it was just a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could return to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and a lot less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my opinion!

We will help to refill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and refill the car. They will be able to fix any of the usual issues that can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Shropshire we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of people being unsure of how to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

As the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at once. And of course be careful not to start up the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Phone us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct different types of AdBlue contamination.

A lady driving in Leaton Heath called us shortly after she managed to get her wrong fueled vehicle to work. She had filled unleaded in her diesel modern Renault and, like plenty before her, thought that she could simply top up the car with diesel and it would run alright. The vehicle was spluttering and then it stopped when she reached the entrance of her work. We soon started on the fuel drain following her call and had it sorted inside 60 minutes while she was at the office. She came out when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm really happy you sorted my car."

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.
