It was just before eight pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were resting there talking about the tennis results, waiting for the seventh job to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Landbeach and filled petrol in a diesel metallic green Lexus IS-F hire car in error. She was somewhat affected apparently, saying "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to get the car to a safe space and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman right away. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less worried. Another job in Cambridgeshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

What to do in case you’ve put AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that’s made of a mix of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is definitely devastating to your car's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with AdBlue in the fuel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will likely be squirted into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, triggering devastating and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

In the event that you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the practical know-how and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CB25 Postcode - Landbeach Misfueling

The owner of a maroon Mazda B2000 was regretful that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel automobile when he got as far as the street and it spluttered and stopped.

Wrong Fuel Assist Landbeach - Wrong Fuel in Car Landbeach

I'd had a perfect evening cycling during my afternoon off and was feeling contented the following working day as I headed out to help a new couple who were on holiday in Landbeach. They had conked out after inserting diesel in their modified Nissan Leaf, and the car was close to an hour away. I emerged at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the wife telling her man off for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass on daily basis in Cambridgeshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to be concerned about, even so he yet still got his ear bent. Poor chap. Anyway, I drained the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed good bye and wondered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

A young lady from Landbeach with her children in her diesel buff Jaguar X-Type had put £20 of petrol at the Texaco service station.

We told her that the vehicle should be okay and that she would be back up and running soon. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined.

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 VAT 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.
