It was about 6 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's sports results, prepared for the 8th call to come in. Finally we got a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Esh Winning and put petrol in a diesel navy blue Kia Spectra5 rental car. She was rather affected it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure space and, as it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could get to the customer fairly quickly.

AdBlue Contamination

All over County Durham we have encountered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to people not understanding the way to work with it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it immediately. And of course never turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would most likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Wrong Fuel Assist Esh Winning - Wrong Fuel in Car Esh Winning

I'd had a wonderful afternoon cycling on my holiday and felt cheerful the following morning as I set off to aid a young couple who were vacationing in Esh Winning. They had conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their brand new Fiat Panda, and they were roughly an hour's drive away. I showed up at their position and smirked while I listened to the wife telling her spouse off for turning out to be so daft. "How could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this situation goes on quite frequently in County Durham and that it's truly nothing at all to stress about, however he all the same had an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate boy. In any case, I drained all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. While they drove off I mouthed goodbye and thought about what my wife would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I would 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 VA 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.
