It was just before 10 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting there talking over the recent tennis, at the ready for the seventh call that day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Woodseaves and filled petrol in a diesel precious Cadillac CTS hire car by mistake. She was fairly agitated apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in case you may have poured AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that is made out of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is actually harmful to your car's fuel system, especially in cases where you run the engine with AdBlue in the diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the AdBlue is going to be injected into the fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, triggering devastating and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can take care of different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in ST20 Postcode - Woodseaves Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! It was 7:30 on a sunny Wednesday and we were en route to help an older sweetheart after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel sombre grey VW Scirocco in Woodseaves. I'd been told she had left the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up in a country lane on the way to see her grandchildren. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I reached the location and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "I'm getting relatively forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I had only just purchased it a few days ago right after my other one, which I had for more than twenty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she gave me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a delightful 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.
