It was just before ten pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were seated commenting on the recent tennis results, waiting around for the sixth call of the day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Coatham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel creamy white Dodge Charger rental car in error. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to get the car to a safe spot and, as it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to get to the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. A fuel drain in North Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over North Yorkshire we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not being aware of how to work with it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it right away. And most certainly take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Contact us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid 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.
