It was about 9 pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing talking about the rugby rankings, waiting around for the 8th call to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Great Stainton and filled petrol in a diesel mint condition Kia Rio5 hire car in error. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected position and, since it was only a few miles away from us, we could get to her almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. One more fuel drain in County Durham done well in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you should do if you have put AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that’s composed of a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be damaging to your car's fuel system, specifically in cases where you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue is going to be squirted into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

I'd had a fantastic day golfing on my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the following working day as I set out to aid a new couple who were on vacation in Great Stainton. They had stopped after filling petrol into their apricot Audi, and the car was close to half an hour away. I emerged at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the girl chastising her man for being so silly. "Precisely how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this problem goes on on a regular basis in County Durham and that it's in reality nothing to worry about, nonetheless he still had his ear bent. Unfortunate chap. Anyway, I drained out all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I would never hear the end of it!

He was located in Great Stainton therefore I arrived there almost immediately. Just as I arrived at the car and got out he explained to me "Praise God! I had my attention on other things and failed to realise I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I brought on problems as a result of driving it?" I determined that generally there shouldn't be any kind of problems and that I'd get the fuel drained immediately for him. Obviously I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some correct fuel, and yet another delighted customer could carry on with his ride without any difficulty. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what tends to make carrying out work on Sundays in County Durham that tiny bit easier to me!

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.
