It was after ten pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were seated there talking over the recent golf, waiting around for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Thornton-le-Street and filled petrol in her diesel blue Chevrolet Colorado lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, also that things like this do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could arrive at her without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off contented and a lot less stressed. Another job in North Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around North Yorkshire we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by people not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And certainly never switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In case you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in YO7 Postcode - Thornton-le-Street Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday and I was on the way to help an old sweetheart who put contaminated fuel in her diesel partner's VW GLI in Thornton-le-Street. I had been advised she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded along a backwater lane on route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location punched into the TomTom and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I got to the location and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the work she said, "I'm getting quite forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car taking diesel since I'd just bought it a few days ago when my old car, which I had for over 25 years, eventually stopped working". I got the job done and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a pleasant 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.
