It was close to 8 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were resting talking about the recent sports results, waiting for the next call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Muckley Cross and filled petrol in a diesel work's Peugeot 104 rental in error. The poor thing was quite affected by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to reach her swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Shropshire we have seen more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to use it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the vehicle.

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

As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Any time you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the practical competence and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in WV16 Postcode - Muckley Cross Misfueling

What a quality night of sleep! 7:00 on a warm Tuesday and I was off to assist an older lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel cyan Land Rover Freelander II in Muckley Cross. She informed us that she had left the filling station and was broken down on a rural road en route to see her godchildren. I popped the location into the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I got to the location and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing the drain she explained, "I'm getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel because I had only just got it a few days back after my former one, which I used for more than twenty five years, inevitably stopped working". I finished the job and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks. Such 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.
