It was just before 10 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were resting discussing the recent footy rankings, waiting for the 6th call to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling station in Leavening and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel white Honda Ridgeline rental in error. She was rather irritated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I have messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected spot and, as it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to reach the customer right away. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in North Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

In North Yorkshire we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And certainly don't switch on the engine - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the car you may most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Wrong Fuel in Car in YO17 Postcode - Leavening Misfueling

Just had a quality night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Sunday and we were on the way to help an older lovely lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel mum's Daihatsu Rocky in Leavening. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station and stranded along a rural lane on the way to visit her grandchildren. I plugged the location in the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "I have been becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car needing diesel because I had only just bought it a couple of days ago when my previous car, which I owned for more than thirty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a delightful 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.
