It was close to 7 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing there talking about the football rankings, ready for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Madeleywood and put the wrong fuel in her diesel new-shape Volvo V70 hire car by mistake. She was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things regrettably happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure space and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we were able to reach the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and much less concerned. A fuel drain in Shropshire well done in my opinion!

We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Shropshire we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to people not understanding the way to use it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And most certainly take care not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In case you have started the car you may likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Any time you get in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the technical knowledge and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TF8 Postcode - Madeleywood Misfueling

A relatively concerned motorist called us from the Esso filling station at Shropshire to inform us that he put unleaded in his diesel son's Alfa Romeo Spider; he wasn't exactly sure how he'd managed to do it. We told him it was no worry and quickly had our engineer out to him to clean the wrong fuel from his car. Having removed the bad fuel, he was almost immediately back on the road. He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the man who was sent to carry out the fuel drain was incredibly very good - he did not make me feel foolish."

Wrong Fuel Assist Madeleywood - Wrong Fuel in Car Madeleywood

I appreciated a great day cycling during my off day and felt cheerful the following day as I headed out to assist a young family who were on holiday in Madeleywood. They had conked out after putting petrol in their beautiful Chrysler Grand Voyager, and the car was roughly half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the wife chastising her man for turning out to be so confused. "How could you conceivably be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this happens constantly in Shropshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to get worried about, and yet he yet still got his ear bent. Poor chap. Anyway, I drained the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some correct fuel. As they drove off I shouted goodbye and thought about what my wife would say to me if I made the exact same error... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
