It was after 8 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring! James and me were resting there going over the football rankings, at the ready for the seventh job to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Willington and put the wrong fuel in her diesel aunt's Kia Sorento rental car. The unfortunate lady was very agitated apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we were able to arrive at her swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less anxious. Yet another job in Tyne and Wear well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel
All around Tyne and Wear we have encountered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists being unsure of how to use it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.
Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?
As the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out immediately. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In the instance that you did start the car you may probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.
Should you end up in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the practical know-how and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers 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.
