It was about 7 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting there talking over the tennis results, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in North Cowton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel silver BMW X5 M rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very irritated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing as it was just a short distance from us, we were able to find the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off relaxed and less anxious. Yet another job in North Yorkshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout North Yorkshire we have encountered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially due to drivers not being aware of how to work with it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at once. And absolutely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If you did start the car you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

If perhaps you get in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the technical knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car or truck parking bay we can access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

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.
