It was before 8 pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were relaxing commenting on the rugby, prepared for the 8th call to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Stannersburn and filled petrol in her diesel elegant Hyundai Elantra hire car in error. She was quite distressed apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from our van, we could reach her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home satisfied and less worried. One more misfuel correction in Northumberland done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Northumberland we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially due to motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained right away. And of course never switch on the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In the event that you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

This really was an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly dawn and noone was about. It was quite dead up to now, and me and Paul were loafing about looking through a few old newspapers. That was a rare restful hour in Northumberland. Actually it was so peaceful that when the telephone ultimately rang it made me jump! The customer on the opposite end told me: "I've only just completed my night shift and stupidly poured petrol in a friend's Volvo850 in error". I asked him to tell us where the vehicle was and we hit the road, reaching him in Stannersburn only half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor. He said thank you for showing up so quickly. While we were returning to base we found two girls at the side of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. Obviously we stopped to change it, to their elation.

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.
