It was about 5 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing there talking about the recent tennis results, at the ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the BP filling garage in Great Steeping and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel dark red Cadillac Fleetwood rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could reach her quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Lincolnshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases fairly quickly.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Great Steeping (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill the car. They can also handle any of the normal problems that can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Ahhh, that was a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Sunday and we were on the way to help an elder woman after she had put petrol in her diesel daughter's BMW Z8 in Great Steeping. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down in a country road en route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged her location in the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I reached the destination and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel since I had just acquired it a week back after my other one, which I owned for over 25 years, finally stopped working". I got the drain done and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a delightful Lincolnshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Lincolnshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Great Steeping

A youngster who had just got his licence had wrong fueled his mate's Honda CR-X by putting petrol in the diesel at the station close to Great Steeping.

He came across us on the web and so called us instantly, afraid about what he needed to do. Our man on the telephones told him that we could be there inside forty-five minutes and to not move his vehicle while waiting.

This was certainly the graveyard shift. It was roughly sunrise and hardly anyone was around. It had been rather quiet until now, and Mark and I were sitting reading through some old magazines. It was a rare tranquil moment in Lincolnshire. Actually it was indeed that relaxing that when my mobile rang it made me start! The customer on the opposite end said: "I only just finished my night shift and foolishly put petrol in a diesel well worn VW Beetle". I told him to tell us exactly where he was and we left, reaching him in Great Steeping under half an hour later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the motor. He thanked us for coming out so fast. As we were returning home we spotted two ladies at the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled over to change it, much to their elation.

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.
