It was around 10 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not given up on raining! Brian and I were sitting there talking over the sports results, prepared for the next call of the day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Gilling West and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic grey Mazda929 hire car. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected spot and, since it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was removed so she could go home to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in North Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In North Yorkshire we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not knowing how to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly never turn over the engine - not even to shift it into a parking area. In the instance that you have started the car you may probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

This was what we call the night shift. It was close to dawn and hardly anyone was about. It had been pretty dead up to now, and me and Ray were sitting browsing a number of old articles. That was an unusual restful moment in North Yorkshire. Actually it was indeed so quiet that the instant my mobile finally rang it made me start! The motorist on the other end said: "I've only just concluded my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in my modified Ford Escort". We instructed him to inform us just where the car was and we set off, reaching him in Gilling West no more than an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the motor. He said thanks for showing up so quickly. While we were going back home we saw two women on the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. So we stopped to change it, much to their delight.

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.
