It was just before 10 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were seated discussing the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Welbury and put the wrong fuel in her diesel wife's Ford C-MAX Hybrid rental car. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things do happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around North Yorkshire we have seen progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers not knowing how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And definitely never start up the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Boat Fuel Drains

As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have successfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

We not long ago received a call about a young man who had put the wrong fuel in his brand new Renault Megane in Welbury. He had come to a stand-still on the street.

This was most definitely what we call an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly dawn and hardly anyone was about. It was quite dead until now, and Ray and I were loafing about looking through several old magazines. This was an unusual tranquil time in North Yorkshire. Actually it was indeed that quiet that the moment my mobile inevitably rang I leaped! The customer explained: "I only just completed my overnight shift and foolishly filled petrol in a diesel mate's Volvo S40 in error". I instructed him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was located and we hit the road, arriving in Welbury not as much as an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the motor and he thanked us for getting there so rapidly. While we were coming back home we spotted two young ladies at the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat. As a result we stopped and helped them change it, to their delight.

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.
