It was close to eight pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were seated there talking over the football rankings, prepared for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Finally we received the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Oldstead and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel elegant Subaru Outback Sport hire car. She was quite troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected area and, because it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could find the customer right away. The bad fuel was extracted and she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away contented and a lot less stressed. One more fuel drain in North Yorkshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it in the event that you have poured AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s made from a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is definitely devastating to your automobile's fuel system, particularly any time you started the car with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the AdBlue will be squirted into the fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, bringing about devastating and expensive damage to your automobile's fuel system.

Call us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle all kinds of AdBlue 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.
