It was about five pm on a Friday and while we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were seated going over the sports results, at the ready for the 6th call for the day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Long Sutton and filled petrol in her diesel modern Mazda626 lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to get the car to a safe space and, as it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to find the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and not so worried. One more job in Lincolnshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

What you can do in the event that you have poured AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid made from a blend of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue tends to be damaging to your car's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the diesel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will likely be injected into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, triggering disastrous and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Phone us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Just had a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and we were on the way to help an elder lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel brand new Renault Traffic in Long Sutton. I had been told she had left the filling station forecourt and pulled up on a rural lane on route to pay a visit to her family. I punched the location into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour. I reached the location and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was doing the drain she said, "I have been becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I'd only just purchased it a short while back when my previous car, which I'd owned for over twenty years, eventually died". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Lincolnshire lady!

I'd had a perfect evening fishing on the weekend and felt delighted with myself the following working day as I headed out to help a new couple who were on vacation in Long Sutton. They had broken down after adding diesel in their green Peugeot 107, and were around an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and smirked while I listened to the gal telling off her husband for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this goes on on daily basis in Lincolnshire and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he all the same had an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove away I shouted good-bye and considered what my missus would tell me if I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car Lincolnshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Long Sutton

Now I'm not ever that interested in running on weekends, and last week was no different. I had only just left home filled with a fantastic Sunday roast prepared for me by the wife, and I was en route to sort out a gentleman after he put the incorrect fuel in his stylish Mercedes CLS-Class. He was only in Long Sutton therefore I was there almost immediately. Just as I drove up right behind the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my thoughts on other stuff and didn't perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created some damage as a result of running it?" I said that generally there should not be any kind of problems and that I'd get the contaminated fuel drained quickly for him. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the car and filled up with the correct fuel, and yet another pleased customer could continue their journey with no difficulty. He could not stop thanking me, and that is what tends to make working on Sundays in Lincolnshire just that little bit less painful for me!

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.
