It was just after six pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Mark and I were seated there discussing the recent footy rankings, ready for the sixth call that day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Harlow Carr and put petrol in a diesel brand new BMW 7 Series hire car by mistake. She was rather troubled apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe area and, since it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to find her right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and not so apprehensive. One more job in North Yorkshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around North Yorkshire we have identified increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And most definitely do not switch on the engine - not even to move it to a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the car you may probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Wrong Fuel Assist Harlow Carr - Wrong Fuel in Car Harlow Carr

I'd had a terrific afternoon cycling during my holiday and was feeling satisfied the following day as I set out to assist a young couple who were vacationing in Harlow Carr. They had stopped after adding petrol in their husband's Chevrolet Corsica, and were about half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and smiled as I heard to the gal telling off her spouse for being so daft. "How could you actually find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this problem takes place all the time in North Yorkshire and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he still got an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate guy. Anyway, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive away I waved so long and wondered what my missus would ask me if I made the very same blunder... I would under no circumstances hear the end of 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.
