It was about 7 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and me were resting talking about the weekend's footy rankings, waiting around for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Chapel-le-Dale and put the wrong fuel in her diesel rugged VW rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things sadly can happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

What you can do if you may have put AdBlue into your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid made out of a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It tends to be damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will undoubtedly be pulled into your fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, leading to disastrous and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Contact us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car North Yorkshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Chapel-le-Dale

Now I'm not ever so hot for working weekends, and the other day was no different. I had only just left the wife and kids after eating a tasty lunch cooked for me by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a gentleman who had filled the wrong petrol in his sombre grey Subaru Outback. He was situated in Chapel-le-Dale therefore it wasn't a long time before I reached him. Just as I arrived right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my mind on other things and didn't grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about harm by starting it?" I said truth be told there probably should not be damage and that also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained at once. It goes without saying that I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus another happy client had the ability to continue their trip without the fuss. He couldn't stop thanking me, and that helps make operating on Sundays in North Yorkshire just that little bit less painful 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.
