It was just before 8 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were seated commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, at the ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Dosthill and put the wrong fuel in her diesel green Peugeot 407 rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather affected by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably can happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was just a short distance off from us, we could get to the woman quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off relaxed and not so concerned. Yet another job in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Staffordshire we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by people not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And obviously don't turn over the engine - not even to move it to a parking area. If you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

If you get in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the technical competence and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Dosthill - Wrong Fuel in Car Dosthill

I had appreciated a great day hiking during my afternoon off and felt contented with myself the following day as I set out to help a young couple who were away in Dosthill. They pulled over after putting diesel in their grey Peugeot 3008, and were close to half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked while I heard to the wife chastising her man for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this problem happens continuously in Staffordshire and that it's really nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he in spite of everything had an earful. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I would personally never live it down!

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.
