It was close to five pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were resting commenting on the golf results, ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Northgate and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel expensive Nissan Maxima rental car. The unfortunate thing was rather troubled apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things do happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from our van, we could get to the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the motel she was living at.

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Lincolnshire we have found increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out immediately. And most certainly be careful not to start up the car - not even to shift it to a parking area. In cases where you have started the car you may probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Any time you get in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the technical competence and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PE11 Postcode - Northgate Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! 7:00 on a sunny Tuesday and we were en route to help an elder lady after she put petrol in her diesel old Subaru Outback Sport in Northgate. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and was pulled up along a country road on the way to see her family. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel as I'd only purchased it a week ago because my former one, which I had owned for in excess of 30 years, finally died". I finished the job and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant Lincolnshire lady!

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.
