It was close to 9 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were resting talking about the weekend's sports rankings, prepared for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Finally we had a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Thornborough and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel sky blue Vauxhall Monaro hire car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat troubled apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably happen. She managed to move the car into a protected space and, as it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Although we got really wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away relaxed and less anxious. Another fuel drain in North Yorkshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over North Yorkshire we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not understanding the right way to use it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And absolutely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If you have started the vehicle you will probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Call us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Saturday and we were en route to help an elder sweetheart after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel mom's Skoda Superb in Thornborough. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station and was stranded along a backwater road on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location plugged into the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "I have been getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car using diesel as I'd only just purchased it a couple of days back when my old one, which I had had for over twenty five years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant North Yorkshire woman!

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.
