It was just before 6 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's rugby rankings, prepared for the sixth job of the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling garage in Wake Hill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel friend's Skoda lease car in error. The poor lady was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure space and, because it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we could arrive at the customer right away. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home relaxed and less concerned. Yet another job in North Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around North Yorkshire we have identified an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And absolutely don't start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Any time you discover yourself to be in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our experts have the technical skills and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

This really was what we call the night shift. It was about 3:30am and noone was about. It was fairly quiet until now, and Ryan and I were relaxing reading a few old newspapers. It was an uncommon tranquil time in North Yorkshire. Actually it was in fact so relaxing that when the telephone finally rang it made me start! The voice on the phone said: "I have only just ended my night shift and foolishly filled petrol in my diesel aunt's Daihatsu Rocky by mistake". We instructed him to tell us exactly where he was located and we headed out, ending up in Wake Hill 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for coming so promptly. While we were returning home we noticed two ladies at the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. So we stopped to change it, much to their elation.

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.
