A man conked out on a street in Podmore had to have a fuel drain about a few weeks back. His light blue VW Tiguan was broken down roadside after he had put in the wrong fuel. He was relaxed when he phoned us but slightly worried to move his car off the road as he was causing considerable traffic. We got to him in 15 minutes seeing that our drainer was in nearby Podmore and had just concluded his previous job. He said, "I simply can't believe I put unleaded in my diesel car and stopped here! My vehicle was so spluttery I simply needed to pull over and then it died."

AdBlue Contamination
All around Staffordshire we are encountering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not being aware of how to use it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the car.
Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?
Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained asap. And absolutely never start the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.
Contact us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

I am not ever so hot for doing work on Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I'd just left home following a superb roast cooked for us by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a guy who filled the incorrect petrol in his stylish Lexus IS. He was somewhere in Podmore thus I was with him before long. Just as I drove up at the car and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my concentration on other considerations and didn't grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I created any kind of damage simply by starting it?" I said there should not be any kind of damage and that also I'd personally get the fuel drained as soon as possible for him. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some suitable fuel, and so another happy client could continue on their journey without the fuss. The man could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what makes working on Sundays in Staffordshire a little better for me!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Podmore - Fuel Rescue Podmore
This was exactly what is called the graveyard shift. It was around sunrise and noone was around. It was quite uneventful up to now, and me and John were sitting looking through a number of old papers. It was an uncommon peaceful time in Staffordshire. It was indeed that peaceful that the moment the phone ultimately rang it made me start! The customer told me: "I completed my overnight shift and foolishly poured petrol in the racing green Land Rover". I asked him to tell us where exactly the car was located and we set off, ending up in Podmore less than an hour or so later. The fuel was taken out from the car. He thanked us for coming so promptly. As we were returning to base we noticed two ladies at the edge of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. Obviously we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
