It was before 5 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting discussing the sports, at the ready for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Fairburn and put petrol in a diesel matte black Fiat Scudo lease car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat distressed it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from our van, we could find her quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home relaxed and not so concerned. One more fuel drain in North Yorkshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around North Yorkshire we have seen a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the automobile.

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

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most definitely do not switch on the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Whenever you get in this scenario don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our experts have the technical competence and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
