A gentleman broken down on a road in Knarsdale had to have a fuel drain around a few weeks ago. His apple green Mitsubishi 3000GT was broken down on the road after he had filled up with the wrong fuel. He was relaxed when he contacted us but a bit concerned to get his car out of the road seeing that he was triggering considerable congestion. We were on scene within 15 minutes as our drainer was in neighbouring Knarsdale and had finished a fuel drain. He said, "I simply can't believe I put unleaded in my diesel car and stopped here! My car was chugging I just needed to pull over and subsequently it conked."

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

In Northumberland we are identifying a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of people being unsure of the right way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it right away. And obviously do not switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If you did start the car you would most likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Contact us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct all types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CA8 Postcode - Knarsdale Misfueling

A woman had come to a stop on a street, Knarsdale just after having misfueled. She was crying and truly agitated as she had put £40 petrol in her diesel car.

Afterwards she said: "My vehicle is akin to my child, I only just paid for it and thus it especially horrified me that I had put such a large amount of wrong fuel in it. I'm really happy that it was so easily fixable."

Wrong Fuel in Car Northumberland - Petrol in Diesel Car Knarsdale

We were phoned by a individual whose trusty BMW X5 M had conked out on a street after a misfuel. "I got the pumps mixed up and pumped petrol instead of diesel in my vehicle . You guys arrived and sorted out the issue right after my car died." We drained the petrol from the diesel tank and flushed the system thoroughly afterwards and the motorist could continue on with his deliveries.

It truly was what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was roughly sunrise and almost noone was stirring. It had become fairly quiet up to now, and me and John were relaxing reading through a number of old magazines. This was an unusual peaceful time in Northumberland. Actually it was in fact that relaxing that when the phone finally rang it made me jump! The customer on the opposite end told me: "I only just completed my night shift and foolishly put petrol in the silver Ford Galaxie by mistake". We told him to let us know where exactly he was situated and we headed out, reaching him in Knarsdale only an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the vehicle. He said thank you for arriving so promptly. As we were going back home we spotted two young ladies at the side of the street who appeared to have a puncture. So we pulled up 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.
