It was just after ten pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting talking over the footy results, ready for the next telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Wark Common and put the wrong fuel in a diesel spotless BMW Z3 lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly troubled it seemed, crying "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we could get to the woman quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and much less worried. One more job in Northumberland well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Northumberland we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not knowing the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the car.

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

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly do not turn over the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

If perhaps you end up in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TD12 Postcode - Wark Common Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night of sleep! 7:30 on a warm Sunday and I was off to help an older lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel shiny Fiat Doblo in Wark Common. She informed us that she had left the filling station and was stranded in a country road on route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I reached the destination and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the work she said, "Now I'm getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel as I had just got it a couple of days ago after my former car, which I'd used for about thirty years, inevitably stopped working". I finished the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a precious Northumberland 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.
