It was close to 8 pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on raining! James and me were resting going over the weekend's footy, at the ready for the seventh telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Wykeham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel precious Renault Alliance hire car in error. The poor lady was very distressed apparently, saying "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from where we were, we could arrive at her without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and not so stressed. One more job in North Yorkshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around North Yorkshire we have seen an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And obviously be careful not to turn over the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the technical know-how and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Wykeham - Wrong Fuel in Car Wykeham

I appreciated a wonderful evening hiking during the weekend and felt delighted with myself the following working day as I set off to help a young family holidaying in Wykeham. They pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their grey Toyota MR2, and were roughly half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the wife telling her husband off for turning out to be so foolish. "Just how could you even find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this situation takes place on a regular basis in North Yorkshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to be concerned about, even so he still got his ear bent. Unfortunate chap. At any rate, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed bon voyage and considered what her indoors would tell me if I made the exact same error... I would never ever live it down!

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.
