It was close to 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were relaxing going over the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting for the next job to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Newtown and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel yellow Ford Ranger rental. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off satisfied and less worried. Another misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Shropshire we are discovering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists not understanding the way to use it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out immediately. And most certainly take care not to start up the car - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

In the event that you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the specialised know-how and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

A young lady had broken down on a road, Newtown just after having wrong fueled. She was sobbing and fairly agitated as she had put £40 of petrol in her diesel car.

I had enjoyed a perfect afternoon golfing on my holiday and felt cheerful the following day as I was on the way to help a young family holidaying in Newtown. They'd pulled over after adding diesel into their white Nissan Leaf, and they were approximately an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed as I heard to the wife telling her spouse off for being so confused. "Exactly how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this goes on all the time in Shropshire and that it is absolutely nothing to be anxious about, and yet he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his wife. Poor boy. Anyway, I drained out the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove off I waved goodbye and thought about what my missus would tell me if ever I made the exact same blunder... I would never ever 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.
