It was around seven pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were seated there going over the tennis, waiting for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Grange Hill and filled petrol in a diesel grass green Jeep Comanche lease car by mistake. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was just a few minutes from us, we could get to the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away satisfied and less concerned. One more fuel drain in County Durham done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over County Durham we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out right away. And obviously take care not to turn over the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Contact us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
