It was close to 8 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting discussing the recent footy rankings, waiting around for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Cononley and put petrol in a diesel white Land Rover Range Rover Classic lease car by mistake. She was pretty distressed apparently, stating "I can not believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing as it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to find the lady right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off contented and not so concerned. Yet another fuel drain in North Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can certainly bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases fairly simply.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in North Yorkshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BD20 Postcode - Cononley Misfueling

Just had a good night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and I was en route to assist an old sweetheart who put the wrong fuel in her diesel deep grey Chevrolet Cavalier in Cononley. I'd been advised she had left the petrol station and was broken down in a country lane along the way to pay a visit to her family. I plugged the location straight into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour. I got to the location and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she told me, "I am getting rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel because I had only just acquired it a few days ago right after my former one, which I had used for over 25 years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely North Yorkshire 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.
