A customer broken down on a street in Harmston needed a fuel drain close to a month ago. His grass green Skoda was stopped roadside after he had misfueled.

We got to him in a quarter-hour seeing that our technician was in in close proximity of Harmston and had done his previous job. He said, "I do not believe I put unleaded in my diesel car and got stuck here! My vehicle was so spluttery I just needed to stop and then it died."

AdBlue In Your Diesel
In Lincolnshire we have seen more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the vehicle.
Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?
As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it right away. And absolutely never switch on the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.
Give us a call if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in LN5 Postcode - Harmston Misfueling
Just had a good night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday and I was en route to help an older woman after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel black Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class in Harmston. I had been told she drove away from the filling station forecourt and stranded in a country road on the way to visit her family. I punched the location in the Satnav and arrived inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing it she said to me, "I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel since I'd only just purchased it a few days back because my other car, which I owned for more than thirty years, inevitably died on me". I got the job done and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a precious Lincolnshire woman!
Therefore, in case you have filled your petrol car with the wrong fuel, or put the wrong fuel in your diesel vehicle anywhere in Lincolnshire, call us immediately. Our skilled mechanics are ready for 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:
- 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.
