It was around 6 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased raining! Ray and I were seated commenting on the football results, waiting for the sixth call of the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Kites Hardwick and put petrol in her diesel white Jeep Compass rental. She was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I just can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected spot and, as it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to reach the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could go home to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home calm and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in Warwickshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Kites Hardwick (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Warwickshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to take care of any of the common problems which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Warwickshire we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it immediately. And most definitely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to fix all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
