It was just before 10 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a rainless day, it had not given up on raining! Mark and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's tennis, waiting around for the next job that day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Gilmonby and filled petrol in her diesel new Fiat 500 rental car by mistake. She was pretty troubled it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this often happen. She was able to move the car into a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to find the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away satisfied and much less stressed. Yet another job in County Durham done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

What to do in the event that you may have poured AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical composed of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is actually devastating to your automobile's fuel system, especially any time you run the engine with AdBlue in your diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue is going to be pushed into your fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, resulting in catastrophic and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

If perhaps you find yourself in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the specialised know-how and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Gilmonby - Wrong Fuel in Car Gilmonby

I appreciated a fantastic evening cycling on my off day and felt contented the next day as I headed out to assist a new couple on holiday in Gilmonby. They had pulled over after inserting diesel in their yellow Citron DS5, and the car was roughly an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and smiled while I listened to the gal telling her man off for being so silly. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this goes on quite frequently in County Durham and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to get worried about, and yet he yet still got an earful by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyhow, I extracted all the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I mouthed goodbye and wondered what my wife would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

We got a telephone call from a individual whose son's Peugeot 508 had broken down on a street after a misfuel. "I confused the pumps and put petrol instead of diesel in my vehicle .

Wrong Fuel Doctor Gilmonby - Fuel Rescue Gilmonby

A customer from Gilmonby with a full car of children in her diesel brand new Cadillac Catera had put £30 of petrol at the Sainsburys petrol station. She phoned us sobbing and very distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that all would be okay and that she would be in action very quickly. When we arrived she was still upset but while our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She quickly brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the little ones on board."

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.
