It was after five pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were relaxing there talking over the weekend's rugby, waiting for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Before long we got the call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Nettleham and filled petrol in her diesel apricot Seat Ibiza hire car. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected space and, because it was no more than a short distance from the office, we were able to arrive at her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away calm and a lot less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Lincolnshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in case you’ve poured AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution composed of a blend of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is actually disastrous to your car's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be injected into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

Contact us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to attend to all types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in LN2 Postcode - Nettleham Misfueling

A relatively alarmed motorist phoned us from the Texaco petrol station at Lincolnshire to advise us that he had put petrol in to his diesel navy blue Mitsubishi 3000GT; he wasn't actually certain how he'd done it. We said to him it was absolutely no worry and soon had our fuel drainer out to him to drain the wrong fuel from his vehicle. Having removed the bad fuel, he was almost immediately back rolling again.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Nettleham - Fuel Rescue Nettleham

A woman driving in Nettleham contacted us shortly after she had managed to get her wrong fueled vehicle to the office. She had filled unleaded in her diesel father's Seat Ibiza and, like plenty prior to her, thought that she would be able to just top up the tank with diesel and it'd be no problem. The engine was spluttering and then it died when she arrived at the entrance of her office. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed in an hour or so while she was at the office. She came outside soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm very glad you sorted my vehicle."

General Petrol in Diesel Warning signs:

This is a list of likely wrong fuel symptoms or signs:

  • Reduced engine power
  • Engine conking out, chugging or coughing
  • Difficulties starting the motor
  • Abnormal smoking

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.
