It was around 6 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were seated commenting on the recent footy, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we had a call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Halmer End and filled petrol in her diesel sky blue Peugeot 307 hire car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, since it was only a few minutes away from the office, we were able to find the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Staffordshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do if you’ve put AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid made from a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is definitely disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in the tank. The moment the engine has been started the AdBlue will likely be injected into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, resulting in serious and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to take care of all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in ST7 Postcode - Halmer End Misfueling

What a fantastic night's sleep! 7:30 on a warm Saturday and we were en route to assist an elder lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel matte black Seat Leon in Halmer End. I had been told she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up along a backwater lane on the way to see her family. I popped her location in the Satnav and arrived inside 60 minutes. I reached the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "I have been becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel because I had just purchased it a short while back because my old car, which I'd had for more than twenty five years, finally died". I got the job done and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a lovely Staffordshire woman!

A customer had broken down near a road in Halmer End. His racing green Peugeot Bipper engine had stopped working and he had no clue what was faulty until he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel car.

He said that he had got no sleep the day before and that must have been the key reason why.

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.
