It was before 5 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! James and I were seated talking over the football results, ready for the 6th job to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in New Heaton and put petrol in her diesel sunflower yellow Toyota Camry rental car. The poor lady was very distressed it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from us, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Northumberland done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Northumberland we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists not understanding the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely take care not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Contact us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TD12 Postcode - New Heaton Misfueling

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a warm Saturday and we were on the way to help an older lovely lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel elegant Dodge Sprinter in New Heaton. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded in a backwater road along the way to visit her grandchildren. I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the location and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "I am becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel since I had just bought it a couple of days back because my other one, which I'd owned for about 30 years, eventually broke down". I finished the job and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks. What a precious Northumberland 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.
