It was around 5 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and me were relaxing talking over the recent sports, prepared for the seventh call to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in Upper Moor and put petrol in her diesel friend's Hyundai Santa Fe lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the car to a secure position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to find her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could get back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Worcestershire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Worcestershire we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of drivers not understanding the way to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Call us in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Upper Moor - Wrong Fuel in Car Upper Moor

I enjoyed a fantastic day fishing during my day off and was feeling contented with myself the next morning as I set out to assist a new family who were holidaying in Upper Moor. They'd stopped after putting petrol in their beautiful Saab 9000, and were about an hour away. I emerged at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the wife telling her partner off for turning out to be so daft. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this takes place continuously in Worcestershire and that it's in reality nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he still got an earful by his better half. Poor guy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted so long and thought about what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!

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.
