It was just after 6 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting talking over the sports results, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Burton Corner and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel creamy white BMW 545 lease car. She was pretty agitated apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we could arrive at the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and much less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Lincolnshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Lincolnshire we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

As the product is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Should you find yourself in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the practical competence and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Burton Corner - Fuel Rescue Burton Corner

A young lady employed in Burton Corner called us after she had tried to get her misfueled vehicle to the office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel sombre grey Suzuki Kizashi and, like plenty before her, imagined that she would be able to simply top up the car with diesel and it would run okay. The engine was chugging and then it cut out when she came to the the front of her office. We promptly started on the fuel drain following her call and had it resolved within an hour or so whilst she was working. She came outside soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm very glad you fixed my 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.
