It was after five pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Ray and me were resting there talking about the football results, ready for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Harrington and put petrol in her diesel racing green Saab 9-5 rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe position and, as it was just a short distance away from our van, we could find the woman without delay. The bad fuel was removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away calm and less worried. Another job in Lincolnshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Lincolnshire we have noticed more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the car.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And of course never start the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Should you get in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the technical knowledge and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Tales from our own Harrington personnel:

Wrong Fuel in Car Lincolnshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Harrington

It can't be fun grinding to a halt in a automobile full of the incorrect fuel in the middle of the street. We had a customer who filled up her tank with the wrong fuel (dad's Jaguar XJ Series) in Harrington suffered with precisely that crisis: "Your man helped me to move my car from the live lane. He removed the wrong fuel from it and had it running once again within around 30 minutes. Highly recommended."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Harrington - Fuel Rescue Harrington

A woman driving in Harrington contacted us as soon as she tried to get her wrong fueled automobile to her office. She had put unleaded in her diesel red VW Eos and, like many people before her, imagined that she could just fill the tank with diesel and it'd run fine. The vehicle was spluttering and then it stopped when she came to the the front of her office. We quickly started on the fuel drain after she called and had it fixed in 60 minutes while she was working. She came outside later on and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely 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.
