It was just before ten pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were resting talking over the weekend's tennis, ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we received the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Longhirst and put the wrong fuel in a diesel light blue Lexus LFA rental car in error. She was pretty distressed apparently, stating "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from us, we were able to arrive at the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and less anxious. Another job in Northumberland well done in my books!
Petrol in your diesel car in Longhirst? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this emergency and get you moving once again with our professional fuel drain services.
AdBlue In your Fuel
In Northumberland we have identified more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not knowing how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the automobile.
Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?
As the product is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly take care not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.
Phone us in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
