It was just after seven pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were seated discussing the weekend's sports, prepared for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Waldridge and put petrol in her diesel stylish Hyundai Tiburon rental car in error. The poor thing was fairly troubled it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things do happen. She was able to get the car into a safe spot and, since it was just a few minutes off from our van, we could arrive at the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got very wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in County Durham done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over County Durham we have noticed increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of people not being aware of the right way to use it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Since the product is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously don't start the engine - not even to move it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

If perhaps you find yourself in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the specialised know-how and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DH2 Postcode - Waldridge Misfueling

What a good night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a gloomy Tuesday and we were off to help an old lovely lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel racing green Ford Fiesta in Waldridge. I'd been told she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down along a country road on route to see her godchildren. I plugged the location in the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel since I'd just got it a couple of days ago when my former one, which I had had for over 30 years, finally died". I completed the drain and she offered me a peppermint and said thank you. What a delightful County Durham woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Waldridge - Wrong Fuel in Car Waldridge

I had a wonderful day hiking on my holiday and was feeling delighted with myself the following morning as I was en route to aid a young family who were on holiday in Waldridge. They'd broken down after filling diesel in their boss' BMW 530, and they were close to an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and laughed as I listened to the woman berating her partner for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you actually manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass continuously in County Durham and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to be concerned about, however he still got his ear bent. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some right fuel. As they drove away I waved bon voyage and wondered what my missus would tell me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

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.
