It was about 10 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's golf results, ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Chetwynd Aston and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel buff Fiat Ulysse hire car. The poor lady was pretty irritated apparently, crying "I just can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this can happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from our van, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less anxious. One more fuel drain in Shropshire well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Shropshire we are finding increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously do not start the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Contact us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily handle all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Chetwynd Aston - Wrong Fuel in Car Chetwynd Aston

I enjoyed a wonderful evening fishing on my day off and felt pleased the next day as I set off to help a young family on vacation in Chetwynd Aston. They had conked out after putting diesel in their white BMW 530, and they were approximately half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and laughed while I listened to the lady telling off her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you even manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this situation comes to pass frequently in Shropshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, however he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I removed all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed farewell and thought about what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I would personally 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.
