It was close to 10 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting there talking over the football rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in Lincoln and filled petrol in a diesel luxury Honda CR-Z lease car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed apparently, stating "I cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing as it was just a short distance from us, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got very drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Lincolnshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Lincolnshire we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not knowing the way to use it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the car.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And most definitely never crank the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

If perhaps you get in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our experts have the technical knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lincolnshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Lincoln

I'm certainly not that interested in working weekends, and a while back was no different. I'd only just come away from home after a tasty Sunday roast prepared for us by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a gentleman because he put the incorrect fuel in his metallic red Peugeot 106. He was located in Lincoln therefore I arrived on scene very quickly. Just as I drove up at the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I had my attention on something else and failed to realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused any damage by driving it?" I determined that truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of damage and also I would get the contaminated fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. Naturally I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and thus another pleased client had the ability to continue their journey without any hassle. He could not stop thanking me, and that can make working on weekends in Lincolnshire a little bit easier in my opinion!

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.
