It was after 6 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated going over the rugby rankings, ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Millthorpe and put petrol in a diesel clean white Peugeot 306 lease car in error. She was very affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe area and, as it was just a short distance away from our van, we could find the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could get back to the hotel she was living at.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Derbyshire we have seen more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And certainly do not start up the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Millthorpe - Wrong Fuel in Car Millthorpe

I had a great evening golfing during my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the following working day as I headed out to help a new family who were on holiday in Millthorpe. They had broken down after filling the wrong fuel in their mint condition Ford Club Wagon, and were close to half an hour away. I turned up at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the wife telling her husband off for actually being so confused. "Precisely how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Derbyshire and that it's nothing at all to fret about, and yet he still got his ear bent. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved good bye and wondered what my wife would ask me if perhaps I made the same blunder... 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.
