It was after ten pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were sitting talking over the weekend's rugby results, ready for the next fuel drain to arrive. Finally we got a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Garmondsway and put the wrong fuel in her diesel modified Audi Allroad rental car. The poor thing was somewhat irritated it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the car to a secure spot and, since it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to find her quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less worried. Yet another job in County Durham well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

What to do in the event that you have put AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that is made from a mixture of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your diesel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will likely be squirted into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, leading to serious and expensive harm to your car's fuel system.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid 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.
