It was after 9 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing there commenting on the golf, waiting for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Seaton and filled petrol in a diesel navy blue Suzuki Swift rental car by mistake. The poor thing was rather troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this often happen. She was able to move the car to a secure space and, as it was just a few miles from us, we were able to reach her quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and not so concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in County Durham done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in the event that you have poured AdBlue into a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a solution made of a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is actually devastating to your car's fuel system, particularly in cases where you run the engine with AdBlue in your fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the AdBlue will undoubtedly be squirted into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, leading to disastrous and expensive harm to your car's fuel system.

If you get in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the practical know-how and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SR7 Postcode - Seaton Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Wednesday and we were on the way to help an older lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel son's Lexus LS in Seaton. I had been told she had left the filling station and broken down along a country road on the way to pay a visit to her family. I popped the location in the TomTom and arrived within an hour. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "I have been becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car using diesel because I'd only got it a week back right after my other one, which I'd used for over twenty years, finally died on me". I completed the job and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant County Durham lady!

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.
