It was close to eight pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were sitting talking about the recent footy, waiting for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Cowling and put petrol in her diesel green Land Rover Range Rover Classic hire car in error. The poor thing was quite affected it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this sadly happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure area and, as it was no more than a short distance from the office, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and much less worried. One more fuel drain in Lancashire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

What you should do if you have put AdBlue in a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical composed of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be pushed into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, causing disastrous and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

A somewhat alarmed customer called us from the Texaco petrol station at Lancashire to tell us that he put unleaded in his diesel customised Hyundai Accent; he wasn't actually sure how he'd managed to do it.

And the man who came to undertake the fuel drain was really very good - he didn't make me look like an idiot."

Wrong Fuel in Car Lancashire - Petrol in Diesel Car Cowling

Just picture being stranded in a automobile full of the wrong fuel in the middle of the street. One of our last customers who filled her diesel car with petrol (precious Audi Quattro) in Cowling encountered literally that type of trouble: "Unfortunately I foolishly put the wrong fuel in my car like a perfect plonker. I was so bothered about my error that I was besides myself. Fortunately I didn't need to worry seeing that you were fantastic in sorting the problem out."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Cowling - Fuel Rescue Cowling

This was the night shift. It was about 3am and almost noone was about. It had become pretty quiet thus far, and Brian and I were relaxing looking at a couple of old papers. It was an unusual peaceful hour in Lancashire. It was that peaceful that the instant the telephone eventually rang it made me jump! The customer on the opposite end said: "I've only just finished my overnight shift and incredibly poured petrol in a diesel Ferarri red Jaguar X-Type". I instructed him to inform us just where the car was and we left, reaching him in Cowling under an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the motor and he thanked us profusely for coming so quickly. While we were returning to base we found two girls on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat. Accordingly we stopped to change it, to their delight.

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.
