It was before 8 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were seated there discussing the weekend's golf rankings, ready for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Barlow and put the wrong fuel in a diesel sombre grey Kia Sephia hire car in error. The poor thing was rather distressed apparently, crying "I can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was just a few miles off from us, we could find the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could get back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off satisfied and much less apprehensive. A job in North Yorkshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around North Yorkshire we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not understanding how to to make use of (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

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

Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly don't switch on the car - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you will likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Whenever you get in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the specialised skills and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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

I am not necessarily too hot for carrying out work Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd just left the family filled with a wonderful dinner cooked for me by the missus, and I was off to deal with a guy who put the wrong fuel in his uncle's Audi S5. He was only in Barlow and so it wasn't a long time before I got to him. Just as I pulled up right behind the car and started work he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my concentration on other things and did not perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted any kind of harm by driving it?" I revealed generally there shouldn't be harm and that I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible. Needless to say I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled up with the correct fuel, and so one more content client could carry on with his traveling without bother. He did not stop thanking me, and that is actually what helps make operating on Sundays in North Yorkshire that little bit less painful in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Barlow - Fuel Rescue Barlow

A young lady from Barlow with her youngsters in her diesel elegant Toyota RAV4 had filled her car with £30 of petrol at the Shell service station. She called us crying and very upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and didn't know what might happen to her car because of it. We assured her that everything would be fine and that she would be on the road quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but as our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she discovered that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Specifically with the youngsters on board."

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.
