It was about seven pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! James and me were relaxing there going over the weekend's sports, waiting around for the 8th telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we got a call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Near Hardcastle and filled petrol in a diesel apricot Nissan Armada lease car in error. The poor lady was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and that these things do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure space and, because it was only a few miles off from us, we were able to get to her almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away contented and a lot less worried. One more misfuel correction in North Yorkshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In North Yorkshire we have encountered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not knowing how to use it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

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

Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most certainly don't switch on the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. If you have started the car you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct 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.
