It was close to ten pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting discussing the golf rankings, prepared for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Askwith and filled petrol in her diesel mint green Audi Coupe Quattro rental by mistake. She was very irritated apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another job in North Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout North Yorkshire we are noticing progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most certainly do not crank the engine - not even to move it into a parking bay. In the event that you did start the car you may in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car North Yorkshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Askwith

I am not ever too keen on running on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd just departed home after eating a superb roast prepared for us by the wife, and I was en route to assist a guy after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his bright yellow Jaguar. He was situated in Askwith hence I was with him very quickly. Just as I arrived behind the car and got busy draining he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my concentration on other considerations and didn't ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted problems because of starting it?" I said there probably should not be damage and that I would personally drain the fuel as soon as possible for him. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and another satisfied motorist had the ability to carry on with his journey without the need for hassle. The guy couldn't stop thanking me, and this is actually what helps make working on weekends in North Yorkshire just that small bit easier for 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.
