It was around 10 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated talking over the sports results, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Dalby and put the wrong fuel in her diesel dirty red Suzuki Reno rental car. The poor lady was quite irritated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things sadly can happen. She managed to move the car to a safe spot and, as it was just a few minutes off from the office, we could get to her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got very wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and not so anxious. A misfuel correction in Lincolnshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Lincolnshire we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people being unsure of the way to use it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting 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. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And certainly be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PE23 Postcode - Dalby Misfueling

What a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a warm Wednesday and we were en route to assist an old woman who put contaminated fuel in her diesel baby blue Fiat in Dalby. I'd been advised she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was pulled up in a country road on route to see her family. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I arrived at the location and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing it she said to me, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car using diesel as I had only just purchased it a short while back right after my previous car, which I had for more than 30 years, eventually stopped working". I finished the job and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a delightful Lincolnshire woman!

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.
