It was close to 8 pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were relaxing there going over the tennis results, ready for the sixth call that day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in York and put the wrong fuel in a diesel sky blue Mazda MX-6 rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very agitated apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to get the car to a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away satisfied and not so apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Lancashire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do if you’ve put AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that is made out of a mix of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is actually damaging to your automobile's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with AdBlue in the tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the AdBlue is going to be pulled into the fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

Phone us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

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.
