It was just after six pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and I were seated there going over the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting around for the sixth telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Conisholme and put petrol in her diesel blue Lexus IS F rental car. She was fairly distressed it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure spot and, as it was just a few miles from us, we were able to find the customer without delay. The bad fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less stressed. A job in Lincolnshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Lincolnshire we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to people not knowing the right way to to make use of (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And most definitely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the event that you did start the car you will most likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in LN11 Postcode - Conisholme Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a warm Wednesday and we were en route to assist an elder woman who put contaminated fuel in her diesel classic Ford in Conisholme. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station and was broken down along a country road en route to visit her godchildren. I popped her location in the Satnav and got there within an hour or so. I turned up at the location and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing the drain she explained, "I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car needing diesel seeing that I'd only just bought it a week back right after my previous car, which I had had for more than thirty years, finally stopped working". I got the drain completed and she presented me a peppermint and said thank you. What a lovely Lincolnshire lady!

We take care of your car accompanied by our full licencing and coverage. Whether you are in an archaic rust-bucket or a state of the art sports-car we can assist you.

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.
