It was before 5 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were relaxing talking about the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the 6th job that day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Cold Cotes and put petrol in her diesel customised Citron DS3 lease car by mistake. The poor thing was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure area and, because it was just a few minutes from the office, we could reach the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could get back to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and much less worried. Another job in North Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout North Yorkshire we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And of course never crank the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking area. In case you have started the car you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Any time you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the practical competence and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
