It was close to 10 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were resting commenting on the tennis results, ready for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Coton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic red Mercedes-Benz SL-Class hire car in error. The poor thing was rather agitated apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to move the car into a protected area and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to get to the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could return to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away relaxed and a lot less anxious. Another job in Staffordshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Staffordshire we are finding a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not understanding the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because the product is mostly ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And certainly take care not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Should you end up in this position don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the specialised knowledge and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in ST20 Postcode - Coton Misfueling

Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Saturday and we were on the way to help an elder lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel grey Peugeot 406 in Coton. I'd been told she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was pulled up in a rural lane along the way to visit her family. I punched the location straight into the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the destination and drained the wrong fuel from the car. While I was working she said to me, "I am getting quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only purchased it a short while ago right after my other one, which I used for in excess of twenty years, eventually broke down". I completed the job and she gave me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Staffordshire lady!

We have fuel drainers on call in the local area ready and waiting to come out and fuel drain your vehicle of the incorrect fuel or polluted fuel. We run 24/7 every day of the year. Every one of our specialists are completely qualified and knowledgeable in taking on all sorts of automobiles.

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.
