It was before five pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's sports rankings, ready for the seventh call that day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Pipe Ridware and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel mate's Isuzu i-Series rental by mistake. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe spot and, because it was just a short distance off from the office, we could find the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away contented and not so worried. Another job in Staffordshire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Staffordshire we have noticed a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to people being unsure of the right way to use it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely do not start the engine - not even to move it to a parking bay. In case you did start the car you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in WS15 Postcode - Pipe Ridware Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Monday and I was on the way to assist an older lady after she put petrol in her diesel racing green Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class in Pipe Ridware. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down in a country lane en route to visit her family. I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and arrived within 60 minutes. I arrived at the location and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing it she said to me, "I am getting quite forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel as I had only just got it a week back right after my previous one, which I'd owned for over twenty five years, inevitably broke down". I finished the job and she presented me a toffee and said thanks. Such a lovely Staffordshire woman!

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.
