It was around 7 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated there talking about the weekend's football results, ready for the 6th call to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Cononley Woodside and put the wrong fuel in a diesel silver Hyundai Accent hire car in error. She was very troubled apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I have messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, also that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected position and, because it was no more than a few miles off from us, we were able to find the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in.

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

All around North Yorkshire we have seen an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not knowing how to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Any time you find yourself in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the practical expertise and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car North Yorkshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Cononley Woodside

I am not necessarily very excited about doing work on Sundays, and a while back was no different. I had only just departed home after eating a fantastic lunch prepared by the wife, and I was en route to assist a gentleman who put the incorrect petrol in his silver Volkswagen Touareg. He was somewhere in Cononley Woodside and so I arrived there before long. Just as I arrived behind the vehicle and started work he told me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on other considerations and failed to grasp that I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused any harm as a result of starting it?" I said that there probably should not be any harm and that I'd personally drain the contaminated fuel immediately. It goes without saying that I removed the fuel from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and thus yet another delighted motorist was able to carry on with his trip without hassle. The man couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what can make operating on Sundays in North Yorkshire just a small bit better in my opinion!

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.
