It was just after eight pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were relaxing there discussing the football results, ready for the 6th call of the day to come in. Finally we had the call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Reighton and filled petrol in a diesel sombre grey Suzuki Sidekick hire car. The poor thing was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from us, we could reach the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off satisfied and a lot less stressed. Another job in North Yorkshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do in the event that you’ve poured AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that’s made from a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is definitely damaging to your automobile's fuel system, particularly if you run the engine with AdBlue in your fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will likely be dragged into your fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

Call us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to every type of AdBlue liquid 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.
