It was about 8 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not given up on raining! Paul and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's football results, waiting around for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Hallington and filled petrol in her diesel daughter's Mercedes-Benz R-Class rental by mistake. She was fairly affected apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this do happen. She was able to get the car into a safe position and, because it was just a few minutes from the office, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off contented and not so stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Lincolnshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Lincolnshire we are identifying a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to use it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously never start up the car - not even to shift it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Contact us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle every type of AdBlue contamination.

A woman had come to a halt on a street, Hallington having just put petrol in her diesel car. She was weeping and fairly troubled as she had put £50 of petrol in her diesel car.

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.
