AdBlue Contamination
All around County Durham we have found progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by people not knowing how to use it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the vehicle.
Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?
Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And of course never start up the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.
Call us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can attend to all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DH6 Postcode - Croxdale Misfueling
What a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Bank Holiday Monday and I was en route to assist an elder lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel brother's Honda Ridgeline in Croxdale. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down in a rural lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged her location into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour or so. I got to the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was working she said to me, "I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car needing diesel seeing that I had just bought it a couple of days back when my former car, which I owned for about 25 years, inevitably died". I completed the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a precious County Durham lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car County Durham - Petrol in Diesel Car Croxdale
I am not ever so excited about doing the job on Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I had only just left the family following a magnificent Sunday roast prepared for me by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a fellow who filled the incorrect petrol in his racing green Mitsubishi 3000GT. He was only in Croxdale therefore it wouldn't be long before I reached him. As I drove up right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my mind on something else and failed to grasp that I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought about any kind of harm through running it?" I said generally there probably should not be problems and also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained quickly for him. Needless to say I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and then yet another delighted client was able to continue their trip without difficulty. He couldn't stop thanking me, and this is exactly what tends to make earning a living on Sundays in County Durham a little better to me!

This was exactly the graveyard shift. It was close to sunrise and hardly anyone was around. It had become fairly uneventful until now, and me and Paul were sitting around looking at several old magazines. This was an unusual tranquil hour in County Durham. It was that relaxing that the instant my mobile finally rang it made me start! The customer said: "I've only just finished my overnight shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in the metallic red Honda CR-X". We asked him to inform us exactly where he was situated and we headed out, ending up in Croxdale no more than half an hour later. The fuel was taken out from the motor. He said thanks for showing up so rapidly. As we were heading back to base we noticed two girls at the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat. Accordingly we got out to 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 VA 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.
