It was close to 6 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were seated there commenting on the tennis results, waiting around for the 6th job for the day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Eggborough and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel company's Kia Rio rental car in error. The poor thing was pretty irritated apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in North Yorkshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important issue to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel can potentially bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations pretty simply.

You should know however that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container lying in the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in North Yorkshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, providing we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

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.
