It was before 10 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it had not given up on pouring! Brian and me were seated there discussing the recent football, waiting for the sixth job that day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Hougham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel cream Kia Spectra5 lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated it seemed, crying "I can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to get the car to a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we were able to get to the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and much less anxious. One more fuel drain in Lincolnshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases fairly simply.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

We can easily get out to refill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home.

They will be able to fix the common troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

The driver of a Ferarri red Kia Sportage was sorry that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle when he got as far as the road and it spluttered and ceased.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hougham - Fuel Rescue Hougham

This really was the night shift. It was about dawn and nobody was stirring. It had become rather dead up to now, and me and John were loafing about perusing several old magazines. It was an uncommon restful time in Lincolnshire. Actually it was so relaxing that when my mobile finally rang I jumped! The motorist on the phone said: "I have only just finished my night shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in my metallic red BMW X5". We asked him to tell us where the vehicle was situated and we hit the road, ending up in Hougham only an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the engine and he thanked us for coming so quickly. As we were heading back home we spotted two young ladies on the side of the highway who seemed to have a puncture. Obviously we pulled up and helped them change it, much 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.
