It was after 5 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were seated going over the recent rugby results, prepared for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Thornton-in-Craven and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic grey Hyundai Elantra rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather affected apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe position and, because it was only a short distance off from us, we could arrive at the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and much less worried. Yet another job in North Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

What to do in the event that you’ve poured AdBlue in a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid made of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is actually harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

Any time you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the specialised skills and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
