It was just before ten pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and I were sitting there commenting on the rugby results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Stanton Lacy and filled petrol in a diesel red Cadillac DTS lease car. The poor lady was rather affected apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to find the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could go home to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and a lot less worried. Another job in Shropshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

What to do in the event that you may have put AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical made of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is actually damaging to your automobile's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the AdBlue will undoubtedly be squirted into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the practical know-how and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.
