It was after ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were resting commenting on the weekend's tennis results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in Hunton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel father's Cadillac Allante lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty agitated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things often happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure position and, since it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to find her almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home relaxed and less anxious. One more fuel drain in North Yorkshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around North Yorkshire we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it asap. And most definitely don't turn over the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In case you did start the car you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
