It was around 9 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting there talking over the recent rugby results, at the ready for the sixth job that day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Low Garth and put the wrong fuel in her diesel grey Volkswagen rental car in error. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from our van, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home satisfied and not so concerned. A fuel drain in North Yorkshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over North Yorkshire we are noticing increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists not knowing how to use it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And definitely take care not to start the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Contact us in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car North Yorkshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Low Garth

Now I am certainly not very enthusiastic about doing the job on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had just departed the family after a tasty Sunday roast prepared for us by the missus, and I was en route to help a man who filled the wrong fuel in his canary yellow Austin Mini Cooper S. He was situated in Low Garth and so I was with him almost immediately. As I arrived at the car and started work he said to me "Praise God! I had my concentration on other considerations and failed to perceive I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted damage simply by driving it?" I said that generally there probably should not be any problems and that I'd get the fuel drained immediately. Naturally I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled it with the correct fuel, and then yet another contented motorist could continue their ride without any bother. The guy could not stop saying thanks to me, and that makes operating on weekends in North Yorkshire just a tiny bit easier for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Low Garth - Fuel Rescue Low Garth

A young lady from Low Garth with a full car of youngsters in her diesel deep grey Mitsubishi L300 had put £40 of petrol at the BP station. She contacted us weeping and extremely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and did not know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that everything would be fine and that she would be on the road very quickly. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She quickly brightened up and was on her way saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Specifically with the youngsters on board."

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.
